    Props that require a 7 are deceptive

    After 8 months trading remote with such a firm and slowly bleeding money to high commissions (and some just plain losses), I see myself pursuing profit split arrangements when I become profitable. While giving up some % of profits, it would be a reality check in terms of whether one should...

    Part Time Jobs for Traders

    Give me a break. I don't have time to search for companies already doing some idea before posting to ET. I'm long past thinking my ideas are always original. I was trying to think of how a delivery guy can add value. 'Scuuse me for trying to help out. And what are you doing here?

    beginner prop strategies

    Don't trade much money until you have an idea that you know what you're doing. Don't try to 'get back' your losses from today. I think in the beginning it's about survival and finding some edge or style that works for you. I'm still in this survival stage.. In the meantime, you can work on...

    Recommended Programming Language for Finance

    I wouldn't get too caught up in what language. Do some C# tutorials, give yourself a simple problem to solve, look at some other programs and understand how they work. The valuable things to learn are how to build common functionalities that solve everyday problems. The language you can use...

    ghco...yes or no?

    That's all well and good - but how am I supposed to eat and pay my mortgage in the meantime? :D As for your trading - I don't know what to say - just make sure you give it your all. Also, don't expect that someone will be able to tell you what to do to be profitable. I think even with a...
