Amen.

Pure lies by the NYTimes. The reason hospital bills are so expensive are all the damn and rules and regulations. It is not because "there is no price regulation". Price regulation, now? Really? If they start capping prices, quality of care will deteriorate. Hospitals charge these prices...

I disagree, respectfully. There were good candidates in 2012 like Ron Paul who had common-sense approaches to fix our issues. Most politicians do not respect people's constitutional rights. So much abuse of rights have been going on at this point that the corruption and bullying is just...

zerohege, stocktwits, seekingalpha, benzinga, market.fy, there is also tastytrade (more for options)

The foolish mistake people make is thinking there is a difference between the two gangs. They essentially both support the same policies. It's like pro-wrestling. In front of the camera, they put on a show as two opposing forces but behind the scenes, they are planning how the stories will be...

Is there a cash prize or is the program solely for exposure?

Did they merge with T3 or close down?

I don't know where you're getting that information but it is old. JC traders are registered with WTS (whom I trade with). The registration fees are now $600-700 without the book which is another $150-$200. On top of that, if you fail, it is over $200 to retake the exam. It costs double for the...

T3 charges fees for education and their services have those fees already prices in so if you're looking to get low rates, t3 isn't for you. If you need your hand held and want somebody to teach you everything from A to Z (or Alef through Taf, T3, SMB, Alpha 7, Maverick Trading are around. With...

Yes, especially true since the moves in the market have been due to FED policy comments or things of that nature. There haven't been as many opportunities but the ones that appear are easy to spot ahead of time - you just have to understand the state of the economy and be able to anticipate that...

What country are you from and what is your residency status in the U.S.? Unless you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, it's going to be very difficult to register with any of the firms you mentioned. Some, such as WTS, have international arms (www.wtstrading.com) for those who are outside...

Yes. HFTs are obviously subject to PDT rule and any other laws/regulations that you are subject to trading manually apply. Be careful too, your account can get flagged and suspend for 90 days or more if you break the PDT rule.

1) Are there less prop traders trading directional/breakout strategies because computers and rebate trading dampen moves? QE has hurt volatility. HFTs have helped liquidity. 2) What's the dominant and profitable style of prop trading - directional, rebate, arb, etc ? None of the above...

60:1 is a bit ridiculous. You lose 50% of your capital on a 1.6%% move. Nobody trading with that much leverage stands a chance. Whomever gave you that much is just as guilty as you are for blowing out the account.

to the best of my knowledge, no 56 is required if the firm you're trading at isn't a CBOE broker-dealer. Hedge-Fund traders and traders with firms registered with other SROs have different requirements. Hedge-funds and private equity firms only have to work within the rules of retail brokerage...

LOL American Greed? Unless your capital was stolen, joining a prop-firm is a mutual decision. The regulatory environment is the cause behind the constant changes in the industry. This has been discussed at length here. There are a few cases where traders' capital has outright stolen. The...

IMO, This is one of the main benefits of training program and training with a group like that over trading your own account. I've said before - traders managing their own risk are their worst enemy. Beginning traders need a 3rd party to help manage their risk. No amount of studying can replace...

It says the internship is with their company which does these social media investment ideas. I don't see how that's any better than earning per page view or per word for your writing. Maybe I'm just not getting it lol. There's big money in crowd-sourced original content. Sites like Yahoo...

I'm having trouble with this one. Do the top performers get access to capital or is it strictly to attain an internship and/or be allowed to attain to obtain a following to earn commissions? isn't this more similar to SeekingAlpha or Benzinga or am I missing something here?

Sometimes they look for someone to say "I have no clue". A lot of these questions can be tricky to see how honest you are about what you do and don't know. I've seen it work both ways.
