I saw one. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=243761 King, I was at a retail trading summit over the weekend here in Chicago. They had about 300 to 500 people there. And nobody was long and they were all bearish. The whole seminar had a pretty bearish tone...

It's OK. I think it's better then it was when I looked at it 10 years ago. I highly doubt it's in the top 5 platforms out there though. Let me put it this way, the platform is not really an asset for Bright.

Bright is going ok. I have to say I didn't realize how dead equities were till I came back into this space. LOL. I think Bright is probably pretty liberal on risk. I think Don called himself a "progressive capitalist". :)

Tower Hill is about all their is in the equity space. Most of the "true" prop firms are in the option market making space or the HFT space with futures. Kurt doesn't have a whole lot to choose from especially since he is in LA, not Chicago. These firms here don't really do remote trading.

I'm sorry, I must have missed this. Can you post that link about FSNY? I didn't hear anything about this. Kind of interesting being that one of their best trades was just interviewed in the new Market Wizards book.

Kurt, why don't you give this a shot. http://www.topsteptrader.com/ I know guys on here like to rip on them but it's a pretty cheap call option. Spend $150 or so in premium and that is all you risk. The upside is, if you pass the combine, they will back you 100%. And not with 5 shares...

Everyone I know who has interviewed there left there with horrible impressions. They opted to go to firms where they deposit money. Imagine that. The employment contract was a joke. In fact, I have a copy of it around here somewhere from a buddy of mine that interviewed there. And I'm...

I just heard Guy Adami speak here in Chicago. He is one hell of a speaker. I thought he gave one of the better speeches on trading I have ever heard give. The guy knows his stuff and is very entertaining to listen to. If you guys ever get a chance to hear him speak, do it.

Kurt, I have not heard many good things about Tower Hill. I know a few people that interviewed there and it looked bleak in their office. From what I heard they stop you out at like a $50 a day loss and fire guys after 3 months if you are down a little bit in the account. I would think T3...

Max, out of curiosity, what is your height and weight and if you know, your bodyfat %?

Well Max, Baron put out a nice blueprint for you there. Most of what he said is pretty much what I've heard over the years. I've been lucky that I've always had a real high metabolism so I've been able to cheat a lot more with my diet. I've always had a rule that if I was going to eat...

Should we re-visit this thread today? I believe we reached 10% today. Unreal, this post marked the very top of the market. Impeccable timing.

I don't think a 50/50 split is a good deal if you are risking 100% of your capital. But my main point was that I think he is mistaken about the firm not requiring "any" capital.

Wow, that stuff is cheap too. For a 4.6 lb can it's only $33.

I agree about the pro-hormones. They are a waste of money. What is your favorite protein of choice?

OK, well I think you answered my question. I'll assume you are using some pro-hormones mostly likely testosterone pre-cursors. I agree, the drug industry today is very blurred and most guys I talk to tell me that the real roids are actually cleaner and healthier then the pro-hormone junk. I'm...

The weather is great on the coast!!!!! In the valley it's 115 degrees!

Gold up 63 handles with barely a downtick. Gold is back!

Yes, but would you "live" in any of those houses? I'm sure you could pick up some short sales and flip them although I don't think that was the spirit of Vhehn's thread. I think he was trying to imply that the market was strong and thereby the economy is not as bad as it looks. You could not...
