    FINRA registered Prop firms

    I actually believe none of these are FINRA registered. Bright is CHX (not CBSX), Echo is PHLX, Hold Bros owns 3 broker dealers (one is FINRA) but traders trade through the CBSX broker dealer I believe. Schonfeld is set up as a fund. Kershner is set up as a fund, and owns a FINRA BD, but I do...

    Interviews at 2 Places . . .

    One similarity is that at both you trade firm capital and get paid salary / draw, which makes it confusing that someone would call Chimera a churn and burn shop since the Chimera owners would be churning and burning their own money (and paying you salary to do it). Trading styles taught are...

    Choosing a safe firm

    When were the B types outlawed 1 to 1.5 years ago? Any info on this SEC sweep? I never heard of it and have been around for a while.
