hi moose, i also was a prop equity trader..started in 1999 and traded prop for about 3 years and made the move this year into trading my own account (futures).. for me, it has honestly been a wonderful experience transitioning from prop to trading my own capital. sure, i miss the bp that...

here's a question for the prop traders and those who know about prop firms: are there going to be problems getting out of longs due to a firm's aggregate or net position on a stock? at the prop chop shop i work at, we've been experiencing HUGE order entry problems. couldn't get out of long...

yeah. be careful when using slope..like lobster said, the slope is relative...meaning it is NOT invariant to changes in scale...perhaps trend lines of the MA would help u out more because the line drawn by the intersection of two or more points are invariant under changes of scale....

yup...LA manager went back to boca...i agree..really odd not to have an office in a city that almost revolves around trading. BULLS/BEARS? c'mon, u need to have a presence there..no matter how hard times get, u need to keep looking for new talent, new inventory..leaving chicago is a mistake..

hey, is this carlos from the defunct L.A. schony office? i wouldn't be surprised if schony cut down to 100. I'm one of the LA remote traders and am pretty sure they don't like having anyone trade remotely. Needless to say, my head will probably be on chopping block soon if what you say is true...
