If you are going to spend 5k, I'd recommend T3

Haha, point taken on Jagr. Thanks, Nazz. Any other advice is appreciated as well.

Hi, I guess my main question is: What would be my best option in terms of easing into trading, while keeping a full time day job? I assume trading the forex market? Just a little background. After studying finance and graduating college, I can't say I knew for certain what area of...

Thanks a lot, guys. That seems like a good idea with the Dell outlet. I can get my boss to order it as well, which I believe should qualify for an additional discount. No need for 30"....I don't have much room on my desk! 19"-21" are more than plenty. The 3400 is nice, with some...

Thanks, MGB...Although I think some of those are overpriced compared to what I need and in terms of my level.

Hi, I am a beginner and want a descent setup mostly for trading. I am not a big gamer and otherwise aside from the trading, I just do some email, message board stuff, youtube, etc. Specifically, I am looking into a Dell. I would like 3 monitors, all around 19" or so. I did a search and...

Thanks, guys. Much appreciated.

Going to make a giant fool of myself here, but oh well! I notice most stations have the standard 3 monitors with one keyboard. How exactly does that work and how do you jump from monitor to monitor? Also, can you hook more than one monitor into a CPU unit? Lastly, what would an...

Hi, I realize there are a wide spectrum of prop firms out there so this answer will not be universal. Mainly talking about the firms where you have to pay a deposit, training fee, etc (NYC). Are there usually any types of benefits- medical, dental, 401k, etc? Even little things such as...

Ivy-league or bust, 99% of the time. Although they do usually conduct quite a few intervies, needless to say it is very hard to get in.

Thanks, Goldenarm. I will check him out. Any idea if any employees are here as well?

Does anyone have a run-down of some of the rates, split/s, desk fees, training fees that SMB has, if any? Especially for new traders. I appreciate the advice. Also, if any of you happen to work there, can you shoot me a PM? Thanks

What about yesterday's opportunity with Hartford financial HIG. Big gain there, even with small risk of $$.

I've had 4 thus far, all with no math questions. It all depends on the type of prop shop though. If it is more quantitative (usually those with salary, ala Jane Street, etc), expect math. In most other cases, have a good story of why you want to trade- very important. What...

Just wondering- I assume WTS' new trading floor is up and running as of now...Still good impressions from those of you who chimed in earlier in the thread about working there? Appreciate the input

I gotcha...Thanks

If I get into a firm that doesn't require a series 7, would they still be able to sponser me for it? Would it be a problem? Thanks

Hi, Do most firms "force" you to trade certain volume every day/month, etc? I realize it is in their favor since they collect commission from what you trade. And even if you are never profitable, at the least they can benefit from one trading large numbers. A few months ago, on a prop...

Hi Tells, Can you check your PM box? Thanks

I just don't get how the other posted who outlined all the details can leave out the $1500. Thanks for the replies
