Any firms for US traders that only require 2500 or less capital?
- Thread starter JoshLowe005
- Start date
Im referring to firms that will give me high leverage to day trade.
If u want high leverage, 2500 is far from enough, especially for prop trade. At least $10K, as I know.
Hey, you might want to shop around different prop trading firms and see if they would enter into a profit sharing agreement with you. Most prop shops require a minimum contribution (around 5k), but some are willing to back you for capital in exchange for a percentage of your profits.
I need to start trading only have 2500
Oh YESSSSSSS Please open an account quickly and you don't need to put in the 10,000 hours of screen time like dumb us who been trading decades, oh no, when you get the "feeling" something will go up, buy buy buy and with $2,500 you can do at some brokerages 8 contracts, throw them all on. It is easy and fun, bring the children, make a lunch of it. Money will just come out of the air.
Depending on what you are trading take a look at Oanda
Yes Onada as well, and of course you get others to call out trades cause you just want to trade, and when they lose, it not your fault.
Ok, experienced day traders, we will divie up the cash in next 30 seconds and someone else's turn to get next two accounts.

are some great prop firms for US traders. They don't require any capital, and even give you an extremely high starting salary (close to 100,000 + bonus dependent on performance). You would trade with the firm's money, and it would be a great start for people who don't have any capital.
They hire plenty of entry levels, so you should be fine to get some experience here! It's such a scam for prop firms to solicit fees on its employees and force them to use their own capital. There are numerous other prop firms that are reputable, actually provide training, and gives salary. Here, it is a learning environment, and you get to collaborate with smart people, like quants, software developers, and other traders.
In addition, a lot of these firms have extremely fast infrastructure (and extremely low transaction fees), so you can trade with high frequencies if you wish. They can also have tick data and level 3 orderbook data with minimum latency.
Even better, in some companies, like Virtu Financial, they hardly ever lose any money. In the last 6 years, Virtu has only had 1 day of trading loss.
This is why prop firms give such generous compensation. Their average trader salary is $99,607 according to Glassdoor. Jane Street's trader salary is $116,952. KCG's trader salary is $153,240. And all of these are not including the humongous bonus.
