they're a trading arcade as far as i know - i.e. individuals trading stock and bond futures / options at an office for their own account. http://www.ucd.ie/careers/custom_house_trainee_traders.pdf probably old, but gives you a bit more colour... can't find the reference but the...

This is one of the most asinine threads on EliteTader - I'm embarassed to have read it. Does it occur to other people that this is a site based around hope for profit? I'm losing faith fast. In defense of Scientist, young / old, rich / poor, the guy at least posts good copy. I think he is...

Does anyone here trade the smaller European indices? I'm thinking OBX, OMX, BELFOX, AEX, MIB, IBEX.....

Thanks for your pointers....

I trade the majority of European Index futures. Particular favourites, EuroStoxx, OMX and the dancing DAX. FTSE doesn't seem to work so well for me... I'm a fan of double bottoms (tops) and RSI "hooks" in conjunction with over extended price action. How about yourself? What strategies do...

Have a look on the web for: Saxon Financials Atlas Futures London Capital Group GHF Candlestick Trading Company Schneider Trading Associates Kyte Group Mako Liquid Capital Have a friend at one of the above - he is of the opinion they are really all much of a muchness. That said...

Hi Cutten, Interesting... TT is a certainty. How come you chose to clear through Fortis? Did you look at many others? Am considering options currently. I'm keen to develop a bit more knowledge on tax as well. Reckon there should be a way to operate half way between being a local and a...

Secondly..... Anyone here from any of the following firms (or similar): Saxon, Atlas, Mako, LCG, Kyte, Candlestick Trading Company, GHF etc.... ???

Interesting... I trade this at work regularly. One of my favourite European Indices - plenty of opportunity. I didn't think I'd find anyone here who trades it!

Hahaha. I've got a Swedish girlfriend and have been thinking some similar thoughts to you (US) guys. Used to live on Dalagatan in Stockholm and loved it. Does anyone know of prop trading firms in Sweden along the lines of MacFutures, Saxon Capital, London Capital Group, Atlas Futures, Kyte...

I found it an interesting book, one worth reading. Certainly Piper is very thorough in his explanation of methodology, potential stumbling blocks and ways to approach overcoming them. Having read the book I found the author refreshingly honest about his trading and related difficulties - this...

Hi there, Just curious to test the waters and see if there are many private, home based scalpers in the UK on Elite Trader. Bund, Bobl, Schatz & European Stock Index futures as primary points of interest. Also curious to find out what broker / software combinations are popular. Any...
