    Saw some threads on the demise of WLDC and office space. I traded at SCHF for 1.5 years 2 years back and I had trouble getting a position starting out and eventually moved to NY to start trading.

    Thinking of trying eminis out. Traded Prop Before

    I traded for about 18 months in 2000-2002. Started at about 13 cents a share profit after about a week had an instinctive gut trading style highly technical. Went down to 2 working at a prop firm ended at 1200 share positions and my trading had basically degenerated into just buying or shorting...

    General: Eminis vs. stocks

    I was prop trading for about 18 months starting in July 2000 went from 15 cents a share(after a week learning) to about 3-4 at the end March of this year. I feel I was way better at the end to the market just got that much harder and much more random. By the time I quit I was basically just...

    Going to hell in a hand basket

    George Soros a few weeks ago called it the Bush effect. Smart Guy, when I heard that I knew we were in deep @#!@. Bush is looking internationally like he's either incompetent or varying degrees of corrupt. Good Political Website if your interested. A couple Bush-economy threads...

    Schonfeld Sec. bad moon rising ???

    If schonfeld is getting rid of 50% then he needs to make up the volume since he's self clearing. Alot of the Broadway traders are self backed. He could probably lower their commisions and still make money on the deal.

    Schonfeld Sec. bad moon rising ???

    Schonfeld had a momentum based trading philosophy. You could discern a logic behind it. And the reasons behind it working. Now most of those reasons are gone. Many seemed to have adopted the attitude that people just arent following the system. It remains to be seen if schonfeld can come up...

    Looking For a Prop Trading Firm

    If you think about schonfelds legendary golden handcuffs you'll realize this. Don's harping about handcuffs brings up another point. To prudently manage an LLC assets should be kept to a minimal level. Handcuffs represent a delayed liability coming due this DEC. You should be able to...
