Best post of the year Mav :D

Specialists at least gave you an idea about their plans and you could always trade with them :D.

well, i´m not gonna fight about semantics here. But a situation where liquidity drops in a couple of seconds, and after that a big print occurs at a darkpool a fraction of penny above an existing bid, and then the situations repeat itself isn´t an example of a good and fair market, as far as I...

At 10:06:29 yesterday morning, an institution sent a sell order for approximately 14,000 shares, causing the stock of AHGP (Alliance Holdings) to fall $1.44. One minute later it appears the same institution sent a buy order for a similar amount of shares, causing the stock to spike back up over...

I don´t even know how do US HFT firms survive this days of almost inexistent liquidity (BAC volume in NOK values,wtf). Doubt that europeans will find a good environment in this market.

Thanks eusadaki, another beer that I owe you :D. BT I completely agree with you, I see as a big mistake, the practices of some firms that are ready to risk their money (and a lot) on people with potential, but cannot offer them a good environment. In the end any person with a head upon their...

Go trade your 1 lot 8000000000 futures account and try to earn something instead of trolling my thread :D

The deal with ET traders is that they already have some bias of the market, and once one have that, it´s almost impossible to change it. With new people it´s much easier to form a workable office and are easier to control, that´s why we decided to only hire raw people to form the right market...

So, looks that the worst had happened. ET is only full of retail people that have no idea about the more professional environment.... P.S. Please don´t send me question about the job, no ET member will be hired.

I have everything lol, I only want to compare my numbers to the already existent (and for a long time) structures (As I wrote before), maybe a non considered variable would appear. MRE, thanks, my numbers are around those 30% plus salary, and a couple of bonuses based on overall and...

For christ sake, can anyone just answer my question??? LOL I´m starting to get annoyed by all this negative stuff. Mav, If you really would have good intentions you would simply pm me your arguments and everything would be fine, now that you´re just trolling in the thread, I see no use...

Well, nobody had replied me to the question of the first post..... Any trader at a normal prop please?. Looks that there are only arcades people around ET ffs. I know the payout structure of pure profit split firms. But i´m interested in the hybrid model that´s implemented in other firms...

Mav, The thing works, the money is there. I asked a concrete question regarding to the payout structure in prop firms, not an opinion about our firm strategy. Yes it have something to do with HFT, but it´s not HFT itself. I know that futures is not the same that equities, but the...

It´s the first case.

Mav, Only Equities and Futures daytrading, mostly market-making and neutral strategies. The group will not be a big one, since the strategy needs close cooperation among a controllable group of people (2 experienced traders and 5-8 fresh newbies from college ,7-10 ppl max in total).

I would like to know from the guys that work for the top prop firms (Chicago, New York), what is your payment structure for a hybrid salary/profit-split deal?. I´m in the process of opening a trading group and want to compare our ideas with the already working structures. We´re planing a...

http://sec.gov/rules/sro/nyse/2012/34-67347.pdf Looks that only retail guys that send their order through a "retail member organization¨would be allowed to set their prices in 0.001 increments.

Well, since when a deregulated market has been a nice place?. If we´re going to the place where all this started, what´s the point of having a lot of tax money spent in huge organizations that guarantee a "fair" and "clean" market if they will be unable to do a thing?. All the...
