    Anyone trade with Nonko Trading?

    This means nothing. Regulatory services is determined by the issuing state/jurisdiction of the securities. If you have traders trading US stocks and are making a commission on trades, you must register as a broker-dealer. Even foreign companies must be a registered broker-dealer. Nonko and...

    Anyone trade with Nonko Trading?

    I highly advise all of you guys to stay away from firms that are structured as U.S. based broker-dealers or hedge-funds. These firms are being shut down very actively by the SEC. I was at a conference a few months ago where a highly reputable law firm made a presentation and showed that of the...

    Top prop firm to top MBA?

    the #s published are deceitful. I worked inside a career services office in college and know how it can be. Don't get me wrong. I believe b-school can be a great investment and it was for me; However, I strongly advise against the mentality of "prestige" because all markets are financial markets...

    Top prop firm to top MBA?

    It has not turned around and that's the type of marketing fluff my alma mater spreads about how their graduates fair better than all others which is complete fluff. At the end of the day, an MBA is just a nice add-on to the resume. It holds as much weight as running your own business for 2-years...

    Top prop firm to top MBA?

    Because plenty get suckered in for the name - just like people who drive cars they can't afford. In simple marketing terms, it's called brandwashing. NPR wrote a great article a while back on why our higher-education system isn't producing good returns on investment and one of the major reasons...

    Top prop firm to top MBA?

    I agree to a large extent. Going back to school for the social experience is just Brandwashing. It's the same thought process behind buying a Mercedes for social reasons. Just make sure you know the costs involved and what will be required to pay those costs off. It costed me well over 100k for...

    Top prop firm to top MBA?

    Sure, you can. Most traders don't get accepted because they fail to demonstrate leadership skills. If you're making it clear you want to use the MBA to get a banking job, most schools will toss out your application simply because of the sheer number of applicants who apply. You have to...

    Exit opportunities for prop trading

    any type of skill you obtain can help you land other jobs. it is completely up to your ability to sell your experience as a rare skill which would be an asset to whoever is hiring you. Of course, an MBA from a top school will surely help; However, its commonly over-valued as it is only one part...

    Who's still around?

    to raise 10m, you will probably need to start a hedge fund and provide an investment offering. You will have to display your PnL records as well with the offering. It will likely run you 100k+ just to setup the fund to be able to find the investors. The firms I posted are the only ones I...

    Stay Out Of Syria, Obama

    I don't think Obama makes foreign policy decisions. His puppet masters are in control. The MIC and banking cartels see $$ in Syria. They are going in. Not to mention how conveniently this happened. Right in the middle of all the scandals of the administration that nobody is talking about...

    TopstepTrader and Patak Trading Partners- Any and all questions answered here

    That's absolutely idiotic. It's the most successful guys who I've seen trading their own capital because they don't want the hassle of having to use OPM. If you were an excellent trader with excellent and consistent results that are proven, why would you be on a manhunt for OPM or to work at...
