Hold Brothers in NYC

[zdreg]

Quote from Bigblues28:

Well what do you consider a bad deal and what do you consider a good deal. I went to a place where they offered .002 tenths of a penny per share and 100% payout no fees no software fees. And another wehre they offered .006 tenths per share thought they were nuts.

your last sentence shows that you know very little about the business.
besides the incorrect use of tenths which would make the deal at .0006 a .006 deal
which includes ecn fees is a good deal.
furthermore you don't say whether you are trading remote or not.

your level of knowledge is obvious.

also learn to do a search before initiating a thread.

I am not speaking for or against Caliber Financial, but your statement is incorrect. Traders of Caliber ARE fully backed by Hold Brothers MAIN LLC and NOT a SUB LLC.

Sounds like you have a beef with them... which is fine, but you really should post correct information if you are going to slam someone. You wind up looking like the fool when you post info that is incorrect... and no one will ever take your info seriously in the future.

Banker

Fair enough, as I don't know their LLC status. But new traders should just be warned of their rap. Stick around the NYC prop scene long enough and you learn enough about why. Hold by itself, like Bright said, can hold its own.

Quote from BankerBlueChips:

Your original post was to make us believe that Caliber is not financially stable... and this post is to say you are now unsure of that... but they have a "bad rap" anyway.

What qualifies you as being an expert of the prop scene in NYC ??? You obviously have no idea what you are talking about ?!?!

For those that care...

What Caliber Financial will do is... sponsor, train and mentor new traders. That is what they do... and that is what most trading groups do. If you don't like their training program, payouts, charges, office conditions or whatever... then you should say it !

Banker

Yeah yeah. I wasn't going to bother getting into this, but I suggest to any interested party to look through Banker's history at his earliest posts, particularly at the thread closed by Magna for "advertising" by a certain someone. We're not fools here, you're transparent. This whole routine has been done before.

Just let it rest and let the good folks of ET decide for themselves. There is a market for information just as there is a market for financial instruments -- and you can't fight it. I'm going to sleep, so flail away.

Hey momo... you are the one who posted the misinformation on this... I just responded to your incorrect post. How could I be advertising for Caliber when all I did was point out your ignorance ?

I am not advertising for Caliber... I haven't said anything good or bad about them... just stated the facts I know. Now that being said I do know people in Caliber Financial, and I know their LLC status. Just wanted to correct your mistake !!!

And by the way...my advertising that I tried to do was for for one or two traders to join my group over 2 years ago in Central Jersey... which I subsequently filled on my own. I don't run a trading group nor do I want to... so I am not sure about the point you are trying to make.... AGAIN !!

Just sounds to me, like you are clueless about the prop industry and that is why I responded to your post.

And by the way... I've been on here for over 4 1/2 years... and you have been on here for 2 months ??!?!? ... I guess that really does qualify you as an expert !!! LOL

Not going to bother getting into your separate handles further. The thread I mentioned is here:

http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8948&perpage=6&pagenumber=4

People who know how to read and make conclusions will know what I mean without needing excessive rhetoric. G'nite.

If you took the time to read that post... I basically did the same thing then, as I am doing now... correcting someone elses mistakes !!!

I have no other handles... where did you get that from ?? Anyone who will take the time to read that post (probably has too much time on their hands) ... but also will realize that I didn't recruit for Caliber then and I am not recruiting for them now.

I know Caliber because before I opened up my remote office, I sat in the same area at Hold Brothers as they did. I was/ and am not affiliated with them. I spoke about your statement in regards to the LLC because I know the facts... unlike you who posts rumors and feelings.

When you are around a little longer then 2 months maybe you'll get some respect on this board... But my guess is you'll probably change YOUR handle again since you are probably embarrassed by your previous posts.

Is there anywhere reputable where you can trade that doesn't require some type of deposit.

I've heard mixed reviews about Hold Brothers. I did interview with one of Hold's sub LLC's once last year, however.
I heard thru a grape vine that a handful of profitable traders left recently due to a fall out between the partners of the group.
I'd like to know how these guys are doing and in particular one trader named, Dave or Don Klinstein (sp), is doing because they told me he's a wild card, mad crazy cowboy. He supposedly went to an Ivy League or one of their competitors.

Dan K is out of the trading business for now, havent spoken to him in a couple months now. Btw, why did you choose "huskidog"? There is a trader with Caliber who posts under "huskydog".

I'm a dog lover and have a Alaskan Husky dog. I've had Huskies since I was a child. Huskydog was taken when I tried to register, so I slightly tweaked it. I've heard your name at Hold and saw your threads on ET as well - your P/L is very consistent.

I don't know who this "huskydog" at Caliber is, but I did see this person's threads on ET, though.

This Dan guy came up a lot when I interviewed there. Nothing bad per se... just hilarious what they told me about him, so naturally his name kind of stuck. Do you know if he's coming back to trading?
