why the skepticism Mav? you being an industry 'insider' and all you should know its true

i've heard assent rates can be as low as .002 as long as you or your group does volume. 50-1 leverage - possible if you're licensed and show you can handle it. free e-signal and TTN - I've some guys say they don't pay and some say they do so I don't know that the firm policy is on this. don't...

why was riskarb banned?

This is all really sad hypo/Emil/etc. - you're a smart and funny guy but you're going off the deep end. I remember it all started when Spyder created the futures thread. Since then you've gone progressive more berserk starting one crazy thread after another. It seems the further Jack becomes...

Its becoming very clear just how low the cost of clearing a trade really is. IB offers a .005 rate all in - which is probably equivalent to a .004 rate with pass thrus at a prop firm. Many brokers are offering free commissions and making the money of interest. So dare I say it that at a...

the thread starter says "my take on the prop firm legislation" as if there is prop firm legislation under consideration. There is not - so this is all just rumor-mongering.

What firm is this: http://www.pacmid.com/ Do they own Blackwood Pro and not Benchmarq?

Which has the bigger clearing firm? I don't know how big LEK is but Assent Clearing can't be that big considering they only have about 1000 traders or so. Assent is backed by a huge group of PE firms. Benchmarq is back by a $2 billion multi-strategy hedge fund they claim. Which...

Nice post Batman, do you mind citing your sources - couldn't find anything on google.

Why doesn't Blair just SHOW THE PROOF - if the soldiers were indeed in international waters.

Okay got it - crude at $69.

I was thinking maybe another Iran rumor.

Right back up - NICE. Gotta love this market. Just 20 points away from being down -200 off the highs at one point.

Where is the link? I've always thought leasing was less attractive because a new car depreciates the most in the first 36 months and that's what you're paying for - the depreciation in the period of time that it is greatest. If you want a new car every 36 months that's fine, then it makes...

Nice turnaround story Jrmarketwizard. How'd you manage to break into the hedge fund business? I'd stay with managing OPM. When you trade your own money, you can rationalize away poor performance and remain in denial - you can't do that with OPM.

Great, I hope all the Jasper guys get their money. I'm just trying to learn as much about Assent as I can before I open an account. Didn't have a good experience with the last two prop shops I was with that got shut down. I hope Assent is committed to the business.

Another Assent trader already called out your BS on another thread and has said Jasper traders have not received their money. You have 2 posts on this site and on both of them you claim Jasper traders received their money. So what's your agenda on this site?

Does Assent prefer not to deal with traders individually? It seems at least at their NYC offices that every trader their is trading under a sub llc. Now when that happens you get a situation like at Jasper where its unclear whether the traders are going to get their money back - and it makes...
