Does anyone have any information and/or contact information on SKTY other than what is listed on their website. I tried calling the number but it goes directly to the company directory. Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone knew of a futures prop firm that might be located in the Dallas, TX area. Thanks

Out of curiosity, what has been the average up day (gross) for day traders (either futures prop or equities prop) in the past year?

If I am W2'd getting paid a salary of 2k per month (which is actually a draw - just stated as a salary for exchange rules - not quite sure on the exact reason why) and we are paid on a 50/50 split with payouts being quarterly bonus, how exactly does taxes play out? First, I know that I'm taxed...

I trade interest rate futures for a futures prop and I was wondering what the advantages or disadvantages are of being W9'd by the firm as opposed to being 1099. Thanks

I am a futures prop trader (intraday) in interest rate products and I was wondering what the different tax impliciations are for being a 1099 versus being W9'd. What are the advantages and disadvantages. Thanks.

out of curiosity what firm are you trading with kingfish? I trade the FYT for awhile at GHCO

Wondering what would happen to RTS if Refco is bought out. How much of a difference would there be in terms of who buys out Refco? For instance, if Man Futures buys out Refco as opposed to Goldman, etc. how much of a difference would there be in terms of how MacFutures/RTS is run? And if...

any idea on how this will affect, if at all, Refco Trading Services (MacFutures)? Was Bill Sexton, newly appointed CEO the one in charge of acquiring MacFutures?

One more thing .. don't know if this matter to you or not, but the Refco office in NY is infinitely better looking and set up better than the GH's (looks like a typical stock prop shop) .. although I heard the NY office had some tech problems in the past, so make sure they have that resolved.

From what I know both GH and Refco Trading Services offer retail. I traded prop for both and I would say that service wise, Refco is a far better choice (in house analysts, more research tools, etc.) although this is the prop side, I have no idea what retail is like and I have heard good things...

How exactly does switching to Refco Pro mean lower commissions?

I don't think you are slow. I've also noticed a slight delay.

I had no problems with refco pro today ... my money on who andyp123 is some guy at refco who hasn't made any money in quite awhile

I trade on Refco Pro and at first I thought it would just take some time getting used to - no big deal - thought the long term benefits would outweight some of the near short term disadvantages. Well, after having used it during the 2nd London bus bombings, subway evacs, etc. I think the...

kinda skeptical as to if andyp123 is really andy priston - something seems kinda off

Out of curiousity, does anyone know what type of deal (i.e. split, desk fees) that the Transmarket Group offers to experienced traders. thanks
