    Prop Firms in/around Vancouver BC.

    Salary is an expense from your corp, so you dont get double taxed. Corp rate is 17.6% on first 400k and around 34%(i think) for amounts over. Normally the strategy is to keep 400k in your corp, transfer that up to a hold corp you use for other businesses/investing/whatever to build a seperate...

    Prop Firms in/around Vancouver BC.

    The nice thing i find is that when you go over to MCL motor cars and walk out with a new Aston, they dont care how you got the money. If youre young and in vancouver, they probably assume its drugs anyways, and they still dont care!

    SEC fees on stock transctions going up.

    As one person mentioned to me, unless they start reverse splitting stocks, overall revenue must have crashed. Because its based per million of total transaction on the sell side, they need to jack rates just to maintain revenues.

    How to check if the firm is legit?

    Im very very confused. Did they tell you what the fees/commish/bp/leverage are already? So we've established they are misrepresenting the illusion of money to attract dumbasses, what else could you want to know?

    Trading Group Managers Question?

    I'm a little confused. You have a trading group that has some newbies. Are you currently responsible for their losses? It didnt seem clear to me. At my office, I am responsible for the traders losses if they go below zero, and I am responsible for their software fees. In that case...

    Trader in Toronto looking to switch company

    I wouldnt call it more liberal, i'd call it more flexible. Especially from my personal experience. I dont know how the Guandouzhoulouxingpijon branch in china would view it. Havent been there yet, but if you were to ask me in a few months ill let you know!

    Trader in Toronto looking to switch company

    Not really sure. At my branch, i am lucky to have the luxury of doing basically whatever i want. At a marginally profitable or break even branch, i'm not sure. I know sterling will disable an account and put it into close orders mode at whatever value is set by HO, but that number is not...

    2009 - Year of cowboy washout?

    2008 was great. The fall of 2008 will forever be known as "free money fall". People on ET post stories of some guy being down 20k in a day, and finishing up 50k. Money was flowing for everyone. Lately, this is not the case, things have tightened. I dont know anyone doing better now than...
