Hi Walter You're right to say that they cease to be a prop firm. That gets back to the deceptive marketing - most firms will either take a nominal amount (1%) or nothing in the form of profit sharing. However, they continue to call themselves prop firms even though they're essentially...

They're not scams - they're simply using deceptive marketing. Anyone with common sense knows that prop firms are after your money via commissions (except those with a profit-share who screw the pooch from both ends). The question is whether or not the leverage and low commissions they're...

The kid expects to raise millions of dollars while he's shorting microcaps? That's plain absurd. He needs to develop a better model with scalability to the tens of millions before he even considers himself a hedge fund manager. Right now he's a small-time trader.

Trading volume will be relatively low compared to other bboxes. I'm willing to pay $10/1000 shares to make up for the difference. 10:1 leverage on $10k I need to know clearing costs and any other fees as well as the breakdown of cost/fee, etc. Much appreciation

Hi I've got an ATS I need a home for. It needs to be remote trading with a reputable firm. I'm not licensed. Any ideas or experiences with firms out there?

I'm looking for programmer knowledgeable on Sterling. Will pay. PM please.

Seeking a prop firm providing 15:1 leverage on $10,000 deposit for black box remote trading. Low volume starting out so commissions are negotiable. Please PM me. (Don't have Series 7)

Thanks

Hi I'm looking to open an eMini account with a broker and start trading but my capital is limited. I have fairly extensive experience with the markets but have just entered the 'real world' from college so my capital is minimal. Who has a reliable firm with low capital requirements? Thanks...

Does anyone have information they're willing to share on programs, brokers, etc. which provide for a fully automated ATS (meaning, I don't need to be there to watch it all day long). I have my own concept, backtested and working. I just need a program to code it so it's fully auto. Much...

How on earth can I go about designing an ATS? I know nothing of coding except macros in Excel. I have what looks to be a very solid system designed based on backtesting. Any guidance on where to learn, what programs to use, which broker to use, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Dave

I appreciate the advice

I'm currently building and testing an automated trading indicator I developed. I'm looking to get information on remote trading for prop firms who allow automated trading. Questions include intraday & overnight leverage, initial capital, payouts, and commissions. If people in the know would...

I disagree on the similar odds of a lotto ticket. Again, this is not a promotion, but a response to a comment. The product's results speak for itself in what limited trials it has been used in (I'm speaking of trauma and decompression sickness). Follow the link above. There are plenty of...

Very nice haha. No clue why the huge volume spike today. Here's a recent article for anyone interested. Again, this is not a promotion of this stock or company - just information I found since people have expressed interest...

The Yen was a fairly accurate predictor for much of this year. No more though. The most important thing now is whether or not the writedowns come in lower or higher than expected. Any big surprises in the mortgage slop and expect a 200+ point drop.

Someone else on ET posted an article about potential fraudulent reporting from FNM pertaining to their credit loss ratio. I don't have the link anymore but think it's worth looking for.
