I'm with Fruity.

Have you tried any of the international accounting associations? IGAF and MSI come to mind, I'm sure there are more. I don't have any experience with them. I just remember someone I know who was looking for offshore accounting services looking at some of these places. Just thought it might...

Have you tried BDO International? I only know of someone that used them for some accounting purposes offshore, not related to trading or hedge funds. I have no direct experience so I'm not sure of pricing. However, since they're another tier down from KPMG, etc., I figure they would be less...

Isolationism sounds cool, but it won't work anymore. Economies are globalizing. Weapons technology is getting too advanced. Whether we choose to pay attention to it or not, the threat will be there. We can't just block out the rest of the world entirely because we need to trade with other...

Are there a lot of profitable guys in your office trading the size you trade? Did your firm or other traders in your office provide any training/instruction with the equities/options strategies you're using?

Thanks, I'm gonna try it out for a while too.

Yeah it was because of the time offset.

Nevermind, I found the answer.

All the times I see on ET are at GMT 9 hours. Is there a particular reason for this? It is pretty hard to convert from the time listed on a post to my local time.

I just wanted to know if anybody knew of any prop firms that provide visas for a friend. Didn't mean to start a big argument regarding H1s and their effect on the US job market.

Okay that makes sense. Plus judging from what they say on their site, they take in about 50 trader trainees a year. And from the growth of their operation, it seems that they retain about 30-35 of them. 60-70% retention of new traders is definitely not bad for a prop. firm. I guess their...

But that doesn't make sense because in the FAQ section, it is stated that most people in the Trader Trainee positions are taken out directly from undergraduate programs. How can you get "a proven track record of success" while an undergrad in college?

Hawkeye23 do you or anyone you know work at Fnys?

Another interesting point in FAQ #14 is that they are not a daytrading firm. With a big "NO!!!". They must be doing something different to offer a salary when most everyone else is requiring deposits from incoming traders. Plus, I remember seeing a post just a little while back from a...

Do you think it would be safe to assume that Fnys must have a high success rate for the traders they train? Or maybe their success rate percentage-wise is the similar to the other firms, but the ones that make it at Fnys must all become heavy hitters enough for them to be able to throw away...

Thanks for the replies, so far I've only heard of two props that offer the H1. One was already mentioned and the other is charging pretty high commissions. (1.5c/s, 5c bullets, and 5k deposit w/ 70 payout) Not exactly a great deal. I figure since it's possible for these two places to give...

NYNY thanks for the tip on Worldco. I think he already interviewed with them, but doesn't really want to go there. So I should change my question to does anyone know any prop firms other than Worldco that do H1 visas?

I wonder if the Bright bros. live on that street. They can afford it no doubt. :D

"Meanwhile, there's a move afoot in Congress to ban online sales taxes altogether. In January, Rep. Chris Cox, R-Calif., and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., renewed their efforts to prohibit online sales taxes by introducing a bill that would turn the current moratorium into an outright ban. The...
