Firms in South Florida?

Quote from sobepehopeful:

I'm originally a Florida resident I toke mid office job with an investment bank in PA 2 years ago and I'm am relocating back to Florida in June. and I will be trading with a prop firm, there are some good options out there now in S. Fla. here's a few:
Trillium Trading
Echo
Bright
Assent (several offices)
Broad Street Trading
First New York Securities **(Maybe the best on the street right now)
Pro Trade Securities

...I'm personally leaning towards going with Pro Trade or Broad Street

I work at the Broad Street office in South Beach - just opened ...about 5 traders here...
 
what are the solid ones in the Miami area? how's broad street and assent? and do they ask for capital contribution? thx
 
There are a very few legit firms down in FL. A lot of them are maggots. I think the guys on this post were pretty accurate in the firms they suggested. More and more companies are waking up and figuring out its cheaper to live and operate in places like FL than NY or Chicago.
I was going to recomend First NY Securities. They have a new office in Boca. I went on two interviews, one in FL the other in NYC, haven't heard from them in two months. I know it was taking some time to get the office open in FL but the fact they seemed to have left not only myself but a few other guys I know hanging in the wind kind of turned me off. I don't know if its arrogance or its just taking them a long time to get up and running.

It means you did not pass muster with em.
 
I'm sure its First NY's arrogant way of telling me that, but its kind of wierd with the return I've had and that I wasn't the only one they did that to.
Anyway, there's a lot of groups in London looking to back US traders. I've hooked up with one of those groups. They seem to have a better way of handing things then a lot of US groups right now.
 
How long have you been trading and what is your return ? I have had some experience dealing with First NY.

Were you mostly a day trader ?

How consistent are your returns? They need to be consistent is key. Being able to bang out consistent returns year over year is critical.
 
I could really care less about Fist NY at this point. I wouldn't want to deal with them after the experience I had.
My returns are consistent. I'm currently working with another group now.
