    6E is awesome

    Yes zenfire thru Mirus/RCG. The sizing takes a little getting used to if you've been trading spot for a while.

    6E is awesome

    Up or down. And that is SO EASY to do with a broker like Mirus and their intraday margins. And before someone chimes in about the dangers of low margin day trading, remember, it is day trading. If you need to hold your position overnight, stay with IB. BTW, Surdo, thx for the pluses about...

    Prop firms-what questions to ask?

    No prop firms insure your prop deposit. Not Bright, not Echo, not Assent. SIPC insurance protection only applies to retail accounts. Licensed firms are regulated, therefore there are better safeguards for your funds on deposit, but your fund with one of these firms is not insured. Been...

    Per Contract price

    how many contracts do you do a month? casual trader or active trader? If casual, anywhere from 1.7 to 2.5/side (on average - not an absolute). If more active, figure with exchange incentives, you can bring that down to less than $1 per side (sometimes even way less than $1).

    I was thinking about it but met them at the Expo and boy, what a bunch of assholes. Came across as bad used car salesmen. Also, since they are NFA'd, they are no longer part of Tradition, so their capital base is all theirs now - no parent to watch over them.
