Why would they actively trade from both sides? Are they trying to make money from trading like a hedge fund? That sounds ridiculous.

Benefits of going prop. I know you asked Brazilianwonder, but I figured I'd take a shot. Fees and commissions vary from firm to firm. 1. if you're new, you maybe able to find a mentor 2. if you're strategy is capital intensive and you need more capital than you have, it's available to you...

I agree with you. If it does exist, which I don't really have an opinion on either way, I think it would only be useful in slowing down panic selloffs during catastrophic events. If you need something to sit there and support markets long term, all you need to do is call the Fed and have...

Not necessarily. There are a lot of people with either capital intensive strategies or strategies that net very little per contract or shares traded, and many times both. It's hard to implement these types of strategies as a solo operation.

Does it really matter? If they do artificially keep the markets up, it will just make the inevitable fallout worse. The market forces will eventually win no matter what.

Yet the government's gauge of inflation excludes food and energy, cuz no one needs to eat and drive right?

Go and get a job at an actual proprietary trading company. Not that pro firm bs that most people on ET are familiar with. A proprietary trading firm is one that does not require a deposit. Chicago is littered with them and they mostly trade futures, although some exist in other locations...

I don't know where you're located, but you're best bet is to get a job at an actual proprietary trading firm. Not these pro firms that require a deposit. An actual prop firm where you trade firm capital, get a profit split, and are an employee. Most are located in Chicago and deal with...

What is the easiest way to take a snapshot of my PnL? Do I need to purchase a paintshop or something?
