Hi All, Having worked in both institutional sell(Street)/buy side(large mutual fund & quant firm) running billions and now doing this prop thing, I think this is what I see as the pros & cons of hedge funds vs prop firms. I think the main pros of prop firms is that it gives you freedom...

Nic, Also, remember this. When I interviewed at Citibank(the largest currency dealer itnhe world), guess who interviewed me? 1) a salesman 2) an ex-physicists with a Phd from Cambridge Univ And at Goldman's Commodities trading division they asked me: 1) to solve basic differential...

rtharp: I do believe it's possible to beat the market else I wouldn't be trader. We are not disagreeing on this part. But, what I'm saying is ON AVERAGE it's difficult to beat the market. Otherwise, why would 80% of money managers can't beat the S&p500? And 90% of daytraders lose money...

braye: Thank you! Finally, someone here with some real institutional background to dispell myths, half-truths, and shed light on the reality of trading in institutions and the rigours of getting in. But like I said, when it comes down to it - trading is about 1) risk mgmt (cutting...

nicholassegrue: I think I can give you some general recruiting advice and experience as regard to top ibanks. I had offers from Goldman, Merrill, and other i-banks when I got out of a top school. I interned at Merrill's institutional trading desk while in school then went to the buyside as...

uptik2000 I think you MISUNDERSTOOD my post. I DID NOT say that $1M/yr is impossible. It's quite possible. In fact, I hope to achieve it one day, but not now. I'm far far from it. But it's a worthy goal. What I'm getting at is the distribution of winnings isn't uniform so to speak...

Stockbroker: I think you need to clarify this. Do you mean to make actual profits of a million? Or just holding a million dollar positions as a "million dollar trader"? Because it seems like some people here seem to say oh if you have 57,000 shares etc that's a million dollar positions. But...

Yeah, I've been doing this prop trading which should really be called daytrading for a few months now. It's nontrivial stuff when you come down to it. You can either 1) scalp in and out really fast and hopefully beat transaction cost 2) have a longer horizon like holding for a few...
