    Is having your own hedge fund good idea vs. staying as prop.

    Can you tel us your rt cost on E's? or PM me if you prefer. I could by all means compete with the majors, they have the cost edge over us and we have the maneuverability edge over them where we can see their cards but we don't have any for them to benefit from lol.

    Is having your own hedge fund good idea vs. staying as prop.

    Don, I quite agree. It is a viable approach to use max. leverage for arbing purposes which in fact I've just quite successfully got into since recently utilizing ES & ER2 since their disparity eventually catches on and hence... Also what you say about sharing the exchange membership benefits...

    Is having your own hedge fund good idea vs. staying as prop.

    Now, this IS the MOST important factor here. IMO maybe 1 in 10,000 traders could get 10mm to manage! The other benefit is the hand holding of the prop. Not easy to manage an HF and trade at the same time. Now on the other hand, what is exactly the benefit of using a prop anyways? I am totally...

    Looking for a decent broker for futures with low intraday margins

    Amp & Mirus are great but expensive! The best rate in the industry right now is $3.20 + platform+feed & exchange. The trick is to get $3.20 all in, any broker out there could offer that for a 30k account and a minimum 2k trades a month? I'll open immediately, same today. Let me know...

    Yes I'm a newbie. And yes I'd like to make a lot of money.

    Do yourself a favor and steer well clear of TradeStation. It is the worst of everything, amongst which but not limited to the MOST OBSOLETE PLATFORM in the industry. They use the oldest trick in the book by hooking you initially and then once you've become entangled in their learning curve...

    What is up with this rally?

    Take a look at ES weekly fast stochastics and you'll see why! A reverse twin V head, Head and Shoulder indicating extreme accumulation or rather artificial support, causing the rally which will still continue well up into low 1400's and them will tank like never before!
