http://www.mtginvestment.com/index.html Anyone trade with them? Anybody know about their training program?

Ballofgold, how did you get into the industry with a BA degree? Was it in finance?

Good point

LOL, no joke!

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the point of a proprietary firm is that their own capital is traded and not client's? Hence, why would you need a Series 7? Is it to make sure the trader knows the financial industry?

Here's his house: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&t=k&om=1&ll=41.109846,-73.613951&spn=0.002558,0.004522 Scroll to bottom is pic in front of house partially blocked by wall: http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/14/for-stevie-cohen-35000-square-feet-isnt-enough/

Ya, I remember this, which is extremely bizarre.

Amongst traders and other Wall Sters why is there so much disdain for Cohen? I have read about SAC trying to bully analysts to change their ratings to favorable ones that SAC has positions in, but surely they can't be the only firm that does that. Is there other things that is rumored throughout...

I thought you had to be sponsored by a firm to get the Series 7?

Wow, was he already trading professionally when he joined them or did they train him from the ground up?

http://www.opusatlanta.com/ No idea how reputable they are, I have just heard of them. Hope this helps.

Is broadstreet 1 of the 2 or have u found 2 more? What are there names?

I have no idea how he ended up in little Winter Haven, FL. A friend of his was letting him use the office space. I also remember I was sick and stayed home from work and entered his chat room. Someone said something to him, and he responded by trying to be cool by saying "Don't piss in the...

Kingfish is a total scam. And he is one of the worst salesman I've ever seen. He had an add in the local paper in Winter Haven, FL about 1 yr ago. So I went. He says he's never had a losing month but refuses to offer any P&L stmts or anything showing so. He showed me his trading room, it had...

I think ur confused. I asked about juggernaut trading for their Orlando address, not scottrends.

Where at? I looked on their website and I just see a NY address.

I was contacted about this firm (www.scottrends.com) that recently opened in Orlando. There training is with T3live.com and trades thru JC Trading. $7500 total deposit. 5k capital deposit. 2.5k training fee. $150-$250 desk & software fees per month, I can't remember right now to be...

Thanx EricP for starting this thread. It is very interesting, especially from someone who is a successful trader. Since Piggie2000 will not reveal who this is, does anyone else know? What prop shop was it?

RedneckTrader, did you trade by yourself at first and if so how much capital did you have to start off with? Apparently, the only way I can get a well financed account would be thru a prop firm. I know I would have to work very hard to be profitable but that is fine with me. I think, follow...

Exactly, great question. This is what I'm debating. I have been swing trading out of my ROTH IRA because thats the only capital I have. (I contribute to my co's 401k, which is separate.) I have no way of coming up with 100k to start on my own. But a prop I talked to would give me 50k buying...
