Managed Money

I think Bright has a number of guys who are actively managing money. I would think Echo does too.

Carlin used to have a few small hedge funds operating from their space and I think that became their focus a few years ago.
 
Quote from cactus_trader:

Several of prop firms will not allow "third party" deposits.

why not just get a prime brokerage account and do it the correct way?

Who allows prime brokerage accounts?
 
Why would you manage clients money in a "CHOP SHOP"?

Why not work with a clearing firm, get good comission rates and set up shop?

Day trading prop shops are finished, over, cooked, done.

Everyone I started off with at Schonfeld, has created their own trading group outside a prop model or Trades on their own through a clearing firm. No body I know is at a "shop" anymore...Hell even schonfeld changed their Shop Model into a suto hedgefund.

I'm confused:( How are Prop's even around anymore? Most traders wised up.
 
Don't you need a big account to work directly with a clearing firm? I would think most prop traders are working with ~5k deposits.
