First decide if you are thinking of migrating to Australia for lifestyle reasons or purely for Tax purposes. - If it is for tax reason it is not a low tax environment (as compared to Singapore) it is a mixture of Capitalist and Socialist system so pros and cons - Lifestyle wise it is good...

"What I really want to know, is do these prop firms make more money from traders failing the prop firm or actually becoming profitable and splitting 20%." that is a million dollar question!

- Which country are they based? - FX I am assuming OTC not FX futures so which broker they use? A Market Makers type or ECN?

old thread but prompted me to ask few questions to the experts - Is this business same as Nadex then? with some exotic products based on main Index/ Commodities/ Currency etc? - Is Nadex a true exchange? they claim they are but is it not true that the main market maker and the exchange is owned...

Please don;t take my word for it...You will have to ask that question to the administrator...if you want to get more in to it see if you can get on to "Creditor's committee" assuming you were a client of Halifax / or are you asking about IB in general?
