    You will need a permanent address in Estonia to be able to open an account in brokers and banks. You also will need an entity to trade from which is llc or corp . You have to move into country but do not need any nationality just recidency permit to do this scheme.

    "all your money" what ? If you don't pay dividends the money will be held in your bank accounts. In this business you have to use several brokers and bank accounts to lower the risk of their failure. No matter where you trade. Everything can fail. Nobody is in 100% safe.

    In Estonia you pay 0% Tax no matter how and what you trade. Period. You pay taxes (20%) only when you will get the money out of the business ie. into your pockets. So this is the place where you can accumulate your equity for years and pay one-time tax only when retiring. Then of course if you...

    What percentage of your gross PnL is commission?

    This is exactly the case. As I said earlier it is so much up to the system what percentage of commissions is ok and which not. If you have a working system then big commissions are not necessarily a problem. It often makes system inefficient but it does not mean it is not profitable. Of course...

    What percentage of your gross PnL is commission?

    In my case I calculate everything in the R and it's multiples. No matter is it for example commissions, winning position or drawdown. I do not know others but my expectancy is quite stable number and I monitor it very carefully along with many other variables.

    What percentage of your gross PnL is commission?

    Im doing intra by 2.76% but I disagree a bit is for example 5% crazy. It is so much up to what kind of RR and win% your system do. In the end the key thing is to be consistently profitable right ? o_O If we are not talking about the HFT then IMO going over 20% starts to sound a bit much...

    Im 50 too and retired. I did my first stock trades in '88 and started to trade fulltime around 2010. Today I do intraday only by stock index futures. Dax is my favourite. I am profitable.

    After 2 years of waiting I can give you a simple answer for all of those questions: AMP/CQG is an excellent choice for low latencies in US trading but in Europe you have to use other options. :D

    Anybody owns a prop firm?

    So you did 1600+ trades and made ~$1.4k which gives you an expectancy of $0.86 / trade. In this situation it's no brainer why you paid roughly 81% commissions (6k / (6k+1.4k)). This is nothing else than overtrading in it's clearest form. Your mentor has teached you to be a very good cash cow...
