I mainly use the command center and everytime I bring up the trade ticket it freezes up for a moment and sometimes freezes completely. Sucks!!

Did you talk to anyone from Broad Street? What did they have to say?I was looking into both firms. CTG doesnt have options capability. I believe both co mingle funds. CTG- 2.5k Broad 5k. Based on my research and posts Bright and Echo seem to be the top teir firms. Need at least 20-25k...

I've been with TD since the Datek days. I agree with you. They are quickly becoming one of the more expensive outfits and their platforms for the most part suck. The only reason I stay with them is because I can wire money in and out all day where others have holds or send checks , etc...

I love the 400 pt days up and down. I wish it was like that everyday. Forever!

$5k does not give you a lot of choices. In my opinion, it's also not enough money for option trading. The better prop firms that allow option trading ask for around $100k. [/B] Considering all the uncertainty around these firms 5k is all I would be willing to risk. For my strategy...

I thought the one year lock up was a SEC rule. Why do some firms adhere to this and others do not?

That is my fear. Echo would be my first choice but I would need 25k to 100k for the options capability which defeats the purpose. I believe BT requires 10k. I saw CTG for 2.5k but no options.

Well, after spending about 30 hours reading every single thread and post on here (literally )about Prop firms I am no further then when I started. After reading posts about Les, tuco, etc. I am thouroughly afraid to even fund an account with a prop firm. What should I be looking for? A...

I completely agree they are a waste of time but it helps give the industry and it's menbers credibility (god knows it needs it) just like any other professional industry with their licenses. Does it mean you're going to be a successful trader.. no. But by having the 7, 6 and 53 it states you...

Suck it up..... I would take every S exam known to man if they would let me just because I love the industry as a whole and would want to be as knowledgable as I can for my profession. Whether It was relevant to my position or not. But thats me

just talked to them 10 minutes ago. 5k for intra day, 10k for overnight. 25k for options, 100k for electronic options. They way he said it though is they prefer at least 10k. 30:1 leverage though

If you like Echo be prepared to fork up to 100k which, to me, defeats the whole purpose of a prop house.

After a good week I like to take some of my profits and do alittle gambling myself. Lately with Bidu. Near close on Thursday(before exp ) I will jump on some options 1 strike OTM taking the oppisite position of the days trend. Even better I take the opposite side friday morning. Ex. So if bidu...

Lake Street cant even send their contract agreement. Its been 3 days, two phone calls and one email. Probably a good thing. Move'n on.

Thanks for your input. I was suspect myself. I am finding it difficult to find a good shop. Each shop mentioned on here seems to have 100 good and 100 bad reviews. I'm looking for registered shop that will allow me to hedge my trades via buying calls and puts. The only one I have seen so far...

What were thinking when you placed this trade? Its 52 week high was only 4.37. Was there chatter of a buyout or something?

I lost about 5k over 5 years when I thought I could be a day trader. I swing trade now. Sometimes hold for a day to a couple of weeks. I always take on a partial hedge using weeklys or front month options. The best decision I ever made. It reduces my profit for the insurance (sometimes)but...

Lake street trading??? Any thoughts. I have read every thread(literally) , post/repsonse under "prop firms" and did not find anything. I called them and they sound pretty professional. 5k deposit. 6 times leverage to start, then 10 down the road. No licenses (I like licenses) No 1 yr...

Trying to start a new thread and it is not working.:confused: This was a test. I guess third times a charm.

Well, I tried to start a new thread and I dont see it. So if it is somewhere else I am sorry!! Anyway, I read every thread and post on prop firms on this site and did not see anything on Lake Street. Anyone have a comments or experiences with them??? I called them and they said 5k...
