Interviewing Questions to ask Prop Firms

W

wetears

I am interviewing with 2 firms-One pure Prop, the other a Retail Firm.

I have a basic understanding of the differences of the two, but would greatly appreciate the insight of someones who has a better idea of how each works, and things to be aware of.

Any suggestions about what to ask both-I am interviewing with the true Prop for the second time. I will be talking with 3 senior traders, and it will be the first interview with the retail one-although their screening seems to be quite different since I am putting up a deposit potentially.

What are fair and reasonable commisions, desk fee, data feed-ball park monthly break even, etc.

Thanks for any help you can offer-
