how do you expect to overcome competition from other traders and market makers if you are incapable of reading a manual and being test on it. It's not like you need a 90 to pass. Let's be honest, a 70 is a pretty low threshold. Most of the stuff on the exam, all traders should know like...

Somebody asked what the success rate in the business. I think it's pretty even across the board when it comes to small business, including prop-trading and most other types of business ventures. 90% will fail, 5% will be moderately successful 5% will earn a comfortable living off trading...

'' 5k + a series 7 is all you need to join a prop firm. There are plenty of honest well-reputable firms. do a search and read reviews in the past.

I think they're a sub of a CBSX b/d. CBSX firms are not registered with FINRA. FINRA is a different SRO and regulates mostly retail firms. I personally have never dealt with them but they've been around a while. If they require a series 56, they are operating legally and your account will be...

OP, you have a lot more options at 99/1 than at 100/0.

+1. see my thread "the dangers of excessive leverage"

Correct me if I'm wrong but as I understand it, the firm has to retain profits but the CBOE hasn't made any statements regarding individual traders, right? That would mean, you can provide 99:1 to one trade and 50:50 to another as long as the firm's policy is not to offer 100% or 99% to every...

Here is the post you are referring to and you are claiming that I am shilling for WTS in response to a trader asking about admin fees - "A lot of firms offer web platforms. Speedtrader does a few billion in volume a month and their platform is web-based. They charge $50 for the platform but...

I don't know who you think I am or what I have to gain from stating facts, but i stand to gain nothing off directing traders. It happens to be the reason WTS is recommended so much is because they have lowest fees and deposit amounts. Most of the threads I commented on mention WTS way before I...

one of the senior members on the site, cstfx, seems to believe I'm a shill for WTS with some ridiculous accusation that I'm some guy named Ron. I give my own advice here based on personal experience and would like to get some feedback as to whether or not I have assisted the members of the...

I'm not Ron, nor do I even know him and if you took the time to point out all the other groups I have recommended other firms maybe 5x as much. You need to stop crying just because you wouldn't trade with one firm, does not mean that the group is not a good firm to trade with. WTS happens...

I'd like to hear how exactly I'm a shill when I don't even recommend this firm in my other posts. do a simple search and this is what you come up with.

if they require you to register with the SEC and take a licensing exam (series 56 or series 7), they are registered. If they don't require registration, they aren't registered. This does not mean the firm is operating illegally, especially if they are located overseas, just that there is more...

there are some around there. if you do a google search you can find ads like this - http://youferral.com/jobpost/show/2281087-junior-equity-trader-wts-proprietary-trading-group-los-angeles

If you're a US trader, stick with a firm that requires a series 56 and SEC registration. There is more oversight and these firms are generally better capitalized

if nobody is answering it probably means they aren't a bigger firm that people on the board are familiar with. Do a search and you will find the firms that have good reviews (Bright Trading, EchoTrade, JC Trading, Capital Traders Group) and the bad ones (IFundTraders, Element Trading, Etc.)

Here are a bunch of questions you should be asking: 1. Do you allow traders to trade remotely? 2. Do you require Series 7 or Series 56? 3. What are your commissions rates? 4. What’s your payout split? 5. Do you pass back exchange rebate fees? 6. Do you offer advanced order...
