Don thank you for your response. What would be the differences between a retail account and otherwise? Leverage? Deposit? Fees? Your response is appreciated. I can have a retail account anywhere with dupes as long as I disclose it.

Are there international prop firms that do not require the registration? I'm probably somewhat of a unique case being someone that has the license but needs to trade without registration, more of a retail setup with my firm's OK and receiving dupes for compliance. That would be easier than...

I am not but would possibly like to be yes. I was not sure if the CBSX reg would require approval to be FINRA reg. I know the FINRA reg would need to be approved. Did not think of WSP issues. Basically, would like to continue consulting while at the same time prop trade.

Does anyone know how/if a FINRA registered rep can also be a CBSX registered trader (provided each firm is on notice and approves)? Does the CBSX registration prevent you from beind FINRA registered or vice versa?

I cannot pull up website. I went through their online training long ago and was looking for updated material. Anyone know?

What do you consider the "Day" Hi / lo? Are you using the hi/lo of a particular session? I trade the NY session and I do look at London's Hi/lo. Just wondering.

PTF went to FOREX for a reason no?

For me FOREX has worked much better. Using basically the same strategy I have a better win rate and a better win vs loss in FOREX than I did with stocks. For me, FOREX trends better and following one market (UER/USD) has helped me. Maybe it's me, maybe it's a coincidence or maybe it's the...

There's probably a 70% pass rate first time. The test is not "hard" but you must put in the necessary study hours. Knowing HOW to take the exam is important since using the process of elimination is the key. A firm must sponsor you for the exam and firms are not going to unless you are going...

Yes that response was excellent and well appreciated. I looked back at it for a review. I hope you are no longer confused and I have cleared it up for you.

Also, in general what are the best hours (EST) to trade FOREX mainly EUR/USD. Would it be the NY session or an overlap of London and NY?

I have never traded on Thanksgiving but I am wondering how the EUR/USD trades historically during the NY session or might it trade more normal during London?

For my personal style, it seems FOREX does what "it's supposed to do" as long as I manage risk. I also like the cost structure where I basically net my profit. I found with equities I had to overcome the costs and I just was not successful. You brought up a good point about data feeds etc...I...

Does anyone trade both FOREX and Emini futures? I was wondering some of the benefits of both as well as negatives. I just started trading FOREX after trading equities and I am finding FOREX much better for me as they trend. I am wondering if I should try emini futures.

Sell courses. Seems to be how a lot of firms supplement their businesses.

Appreciate the insight. Makes a lot of sense.

Can anyone share real life experience with trading equities vs FOREX. I am beginning to look at FOREX after seeing that my momo based breakout strategy in equities has not been working (is that edge one?). FOREX seems to trend for me (so far---short sample). To me, it might be that FOREX...

Why did Don stop blogging? Did he stop trading also? I just started following his blog and thought it was very good.

I just started following and I thought the guy was insightful. Why did he stop? I don't really understand I guess because I was new.

I'm a bit confused on this proposed new tax and who it will effect. If one is a "client" of a retail brokerage firm and chooses to buy 1000 shares of a $10 stock would that client be taxed $250 above and beyond commissions or is this tax targeting prop traders that trade on a payout?
