DTTW (former swift) uses PRO 08 something which I had tried. Alkaline uses Takion with whom I trade. Maverick have their own software which i didn't try as they have some subscription fee for training

There are numerous out there depending on where you are based and your expectation. In Canada most will give you remote access with 20x or higher leverage and sort of 80-20 split. Your only constraint might be API access as the ones I have come across only offer discretionary trading

had traded with them few years ago. good if you need training otherwise very avg platform and even worse execution. split not so great at that point not sure how it is now. If you don't need training then far better props out there

If you do equities then better to trade with a prop firm as you will have low commissions as well as ECN rebates with leverage on capital which you can choose to take

I usually put a gain stop after a good win as my firm allows it. So if I am up $1000, I put a gain stop of $700-$800 so if I have multiple positions, then the system automatically stops me out if my gain on that day comes down to $700-$800. Allows me to trade if I want and protects my PnL as...

This method actually holds well if you trade in large sizes and do quick scalping and out like I do. I primarily do it at a prop firm and with leverage it does do wonders. Especially I also add a system stop to it wherein the system automatically stops me out If I am at times hesitant which...

Try some prop firms that might give you platform access and probably share revenue with you for your traders. I see their pro data for all ECNs including platform fee inclusive is like just $225 per month which sounds a good deal to me

Aah that was pretty good back then ! they are giving $4.5 for no vol. commitment and then step down by 25-50c for every 250k in monthly vol. I scalp a lot in quantity (over million shares monthly) so probably might pay around $3/1000 on an avg

believe they have revamped as DTTW now but like mentioned above didnt like the platform so didn't enquire on splits

That's what i said any firm outside the US not having PDT rule would generally be the same. the reason I am looking at firms both registered and banking in Canada is to have another line of defense which was not the case with swift but will see how this goes as m not getting any other firms with...

yeah I knw I have traded with Swift as well and got lucky that time to have not lost money. but have come to realize any entity offering outside US without PDT will not be regulated by SEC or other regulators. Only thing with Swift was they were banking out of Cayman so this time looking for...

I mean they should have a bank account in canada

it is a first loss type of funding with min. $2000 to put down which I am fine with. they have structure similar to DTWW which works with other broker dealers so don't think they have to be regulated but they are registered in Canada which does help in case of things going south. How is wanting...

Looking for cash equities and options only

Alkaline is offering 80- 85% split to me with monthly payouts. Commissions starting at $0.0045/share and then lower rates on certain volumes. I like their platform Takion but if you would know other firms with better offers would be great to connect

lol looking for high leverage and hence prop firms is preference

Any guidance on day trading firms in Canada? Already have an offer from Alkaline Capital but want to see if there are any other better offers out there. Would prefer firms who bank out of Canada as well (which is what attracted me to Alkaline) and not those Cayman/Bahamas ones as have had bad...

as far as i know, they have first loss funding model with 80-85% payout. Residents of india can trade/invest on cash markets in the US/overseas which is what most prop firms offer. They can't trade CFDs and other 'margin'/derivative products overseas. I have myself traded with a few of them

try alkaline capital. they are based out of Canada but few of my indian colleagues joined them and are happy. Believe they offer takion
