If you have been a broker for 15 years you must have a huge book and must generate some nice commissions. Don't walk away from that. I walked away from a $60 million book of biz cause I was burned out. Tried trading at Bright Trading.....didn't make the cut and went back to being a broker. Left again.....to join Echotrade. Had a great mentor and became profitable, but could not transition over to doing size to make a living. So went back into retail brokerage.......I'm a wholesaler now for a major annuity/fund complex. Making an awesome living, but working my butt off like I never have before. Still have the trading bug, but I'm saving it for when I retire. Prop trading will always be there. It's not a job....no salary, no benes, etc. Unless you aready have FU money.......seven figures set aside, don't leave your job.
