Good advice too :)

Take in count every possibility. But have in mind, that it doesn´t matter how you start, it will take time and losses to get to a professional level. You can chose freedom, or part-slavery, like evo said before it´s a 2sided coin. Every one of them have their pros and cons.

I was talking mostly about a firm with a minimal survival bonus (or nothing at all) but with full backing options. Not about the Top Jobs, where your main income is the salary and some bonus % of the profits :). And I wasnt encouraging OP to move to NY, but to go there for a couple of days...

In part that is true, but you´re only viewing it from the perspective of not qualified people. It might be true for them, and in 99% they do not have any chance to get backed (without a record anyway, because if they have a couple of positive months there would be a lot of "investors" willing...

LOL. Ok, do you believe that you can make it in the markets?. Do you believe that you can do all that is needed to train yourself to make money out there?. Bother them?. Common, HR people mostly do not do anything at their office, just sits there and play farmville in FB and filling 1...

Just go there and ask them about it. Not just mail them, go and ask, many people don´t even see their emails and do not take seriously the people that communicate through them :) (I include myself in that category btw). Go and try, it´s better than sitting in your house with a 2k account...

t0pd0g, I didn´t say that the firms you mentioned are bucket shops, I was talking about the small stuff that´s out there, that trade trough that firms sometimes. Half a world have an MBA, it´s just a piece of paper. It costs some money and a year of "education" but mostly it doesn´t give...

Bight trading is almost like a retail broker, only with cheaper fees :). HB mostly focus on backed traders with profit split. I call the rest arcades/bucket shops cause they lack of the legal frame to be called otherwise, a part from the redflags that some of them may arise. Well having a MBA...

I understand your point of view, but I was talking about the entry level traders. For a trader that already know the way of trading it´s profitable to go that way, sometimes, if comparing with retail account for example. But for lets say people who wanna trade for a living and just ended...

Many of the firm OP mentioned, offer the old trainee/assistant/junior way to start working with them. Specially chicago ones, oh, btw OP, you should add Tower Hill to your list, forgot about them. A serious Prop firm will never let you play your capital for a couple of obvious reasons and...

There are people who make it. Know a guy trading only a couple of rebate stocks and is making 15-20k in a good month on average, record day 12k. So I don't think that overall WTS don't make some nice money if they have a couple dozen of traders like that. Like I said before, it looks like...

Well , rebate trading is not a one trick pony, there are a lot of "sub-styles", it's just a complete different trading world that stuff. So you're being a little rude saying that (specially when there are ppl, who make a good living trading that way). Anyway, going back to the point of this...

Oh, common, no one is saying nothing concrete about anything, everything are just mere conjectures. I don´t see what are the problems here. But as ppl say, there is no smoke without fire somewhere :). SgtSlottter, thanks for the info. I have read some of these "rumors", and some might have a...

And how is that Velaez trade through WTS??.

Transmarket group, Hold Brothers

Haven´t paid for a song/movie since 2005.

Hmm strange, based on the info of velaez linkedin profile, he´s still with Pristine..... . . . . .. Topic to be deleted in 5 . . . . . . 4 . . . . . . 3 . . . . . 2 . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . .

May I be wrong, but generally limit orders do not consume any BP, stop orders do. Check if the orders to buy the stocks where send at the same time, cause in case you pressed 2 times the button, you´d get different execution times and order ID´s. And if it´s short or sell it´s the same...

Hi Don, thanks for your reply. I thought that EDGA isn´t an inverse ECN since a long time ago (the only ones that still have that status are nsdqbx, batsy and cbsx), and now it's only a cheap take liquidity tool... Even in their fee schedule it´s specified that tag V have a rebate...

anyone that could review those fees please??
