    My frustrating week back with TST

    Prop firms in Houston.

    Just so no one misinterprets my rhetorical answer above, it's meant as a lament of the Houston scene. In my observation Houston is all about energy trading but I find it's very hard to get into unless you have impeccable credentials or know someone in the business.
