    Payout Structure Questions at Interview

    I agree with momo's comments. Plus, there's a sense of camaraderie among the experienced traders. Alot of them are long time friends and they hang out together and trade similar styles. Why skip to another firm that has unfamiliar faces?

    Okay...my next favorite musical performance was RS7's improvisations with the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East, sometime in 1969. He was in the audience and jumped up on stage, grabbed Dickey Betts guitar and started jamming next to Gregg and Duanne. His fretwork on "Whipping Post" was to...

    Payout Structure Questions at Interview

    That didn't look like a support of your comments. There were contradictory statements ranging from support of other prop firm business models to downright criticism of these same firms.

    True, he does have some good trading gems here and there. I guess that's the beauty of being anonymous on the internet. Anyone can reinvent himself. I can choose to be a naughty schoolgirl or a Buckaroo Banzai-type superhero. Sooner or later though, if you write enough tall tales, the...

    Point taken. So he's delusional and watches too many war movies. But don't kick a guy when he's down. Maybe he needs help.

    Gotta agree with Max here, unless RS7 is going senile in his old age. Too many discrepancies! So we've got the point, Max. RS7 likes to exaggerate but don't we all to some degree? When will the inquisition end?

    So the latest suspect has a Muslim last name. Think we've found our guy and do you think he's got ties to Al-Qaida?

    By the way, his name is Max401...NOT Maxine! God, RS7, it's true you can't get your facts right! What a LIAR!:D Max, you should lend your prodiguous sleuthing talents to the FBI and help crack the sniper case or Jon Benet Ramsey case. Or better yet, find out what happened to Chandra Levy!

    Help: My Offer from a Prop Firm

    First of all, that's WAY too much trading! You'll probably owe $100K+ in expenses by the end of the month. Dividing those trading amounts by ten is more reasonable (40 trades per day, 500 shares per trade). You don't need to write millions of tickets to be successful. The goal is to make...

    Payout Structure Questions at Interview

    Being a college senior, you're in no position to ask about payout structures and commissions unless you're putting up your own capital. Consistently profitable, experienced traders can ask about commissions and payout. You should be thankful for the learning experience. Heartland has some...

    Help: My Offer from a Prop Firm

    Doesn't matter. If you were being charged for commissions, $4999 in gross P&L would equal negative P&L (unless you only wrote a handful of tickets, which is unlikely) so you wouldn't be paid anyway. Again, this is still a great deal for a beginner, better than any other deal out there. Which...

    Why Do Most Traders Lose MOney?

    Aside from lack of discipline, experienced traders lose money because of decimalization and high volatility. No matter how good your entry point and stop losses, a whipsawing stock and market will make even the most disciplined traders lose money.
