I'm looking for a prop firm. Does anyone have information on Chimera?
If so, please post your experience with them.
Thanks!

What state are you in? Do you want to go into an office or be remote?
I could go either way. But an office environment is preferred. I enjoy the synergy and dynamics of working with other traders. I am in Los Angeles and there are not a lot of options out here offices.
Who are you with?

i didn't realize i'd have pms from this asking about chimera.
its not my place to judge the entire organization based on 1 branch, they have several. If you live in la, boston, ny, just send them an email. if they don't respond, then it doesn't matter. if they do, you've just saved yourself a ridiculous amount of misinformation and time.
in fact, when it comes to any firm on these boards, just sacking up and contacting them is the best advice i can give. anything else you read on these boards about a specific prop firm thats overly enthusiastic/negative is either from:
a. a noob outside of the industry
b. someone too lazy to contact directly
c. someone too timid
d. someone who can't get a reply back
maybe i'm a shill for them? and ephiphany. and altrion. and wts. and basically everybody on the planet i have an opinion on. just contact them directly.

I've had some correspondence through email with Chimera, they're a legit firm and registered through CBSX, which means traders do not need a Series 7 unlike brokers that are registered with NASD. However, they require a capital contribution if you're an experienced trader, so that's when I stopped my due diligence. If you're new to the industry, then you may wish to check them out, as unlike most other prop/daytrade firms, they do not charge for training. Hope that helps.

Are you sure that Chimera requires a capital contribution if you're an experienced trader ? I did not know that.
Thanks.
