Quote from HomeGrown:
I don't think this is advantageous. 40% gross with all the risk?
If there is one thing I learned in B School, all business have unlimited upside and limited downside.
It's not advantageous. According to the 20 days (1 month) of trading data I used, the trader's net payout would be almost identical using either structure. Your costs (Bright Trading's take) would almost be the same also.
The only reason a trader agrees to take a 40% payout (or less) is to shift the risk towards the firm.
