PDT Rule & Prop Firms

Quote from UDon'tKnowMe:

To be an exchange member setup or buy a BD. Register it with the exchange and pay the exchange a couple of thousand dollars a month, on top of the cost of maintaining a BD. Or get your series 7 and get registered at a BD that is already a memeber of the exchange. Maverick is right that CBOE members don't need a series 7, however most people don't think that is going to last for much longer because of the merger. So I wouldn't count on using that as a way around having to get a series 7.

this is what i was referring to... sounds like the cboe may not be the answer for long.

oh wait.. thats a conspiracy theory. my bad. LMAOOOOOOOOO

As long as the SPX pit still has MM's on the floor, there is not a snowball's chance in hell they are going to require a 7. That lobby is more powerful then the Tobacco and NRA lobbys. Sorry Ratboy, it will be years before the CBOE requires a 7, if ever. The CBOE owns the licensing requirement for the SPX till 2012 I believe. Maybe longer.
 
Quote from Maverick74:

Ratboy, does it really bother you that much to be wrong all the time. There are many firms out there that don't require a 7. That is a statement of fact. You can't seem to handle that and start conspiracy thread after thread about how you are right, even though you are not even remotely close to right.

I have also stated countless times on this thread that all one has to do to get a list of all the prop firms on the cboe is to actually go to the cboe website. Are you telling me that people are so freaking lazy, that not only do they not want to take the series 7 exam, but they don't even have enough in them to go to a website to do 5 minutes of research? I'm really speechless.

One more time, just for ratboy, you do not need a series 7 to get leverage. Now go back to your Ron Paul myspace site and post some more youtube vidoes.


i know you just can't comprehend what i said previously or you wouldn't keep making this stupid statement.

even you said things may change.... so get a clue mavril.

Yes asshole, things will "eventually" change. I never said next year. At some point when the floor is no more, the CBOE may very well require a 7, so yes, I said it might change. But it's not anytime soon. Go back to your myspace site kid.
 
When my firm becomes a NASDAQ member, what impact does this have on my firm’s registered representatives?
When a firm registers as a NASDAQ member, certain categories of registered persons at that firm must also be registered in CRD as meeting NASDAQ registration status.

• Series 6 (Limited Representative, Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products)

so give us a link to these firms.. that would be a nice service to ET mav. i would appreciate it.
 
maverick probably knows what he's talking about on this issue since he is a prop firm owner...........but on all other issues he's clearly a chump........he's probably gonna vote for hillary
 
Quote from Maverick74:


....So if you become a member of an exchange and join a member firm, you are considered a "professional" trader. If your SRO requires you to have a series 7, then you need to get your series 7....

So i.e. there are exchanges out there that don't require a Series 7 to be considered a "professional" and as long as you and your firm are members of one of these exchanges then you are deemed a "proffessional" which means the 4-1 limitation on leverage will not apply to you and the firm can decide how much to give you. Can you name one of these exchanges? Thanks!

well.. i have never argued the 7 thing... my point is for practical purposes. if the sec doesnt require it but the exchange members do.. then what the hell difference does it make?

except for the cboe... which as of yet i have not seen one of these firms... why didnt he just help the guys out when they asked instead of some wussy excuse? is he trying to steer them into his firm?

if so.. then just admit it. i went on the cboe site just then.. i didn't see it... maybe i need to be a member first? LMAOOOOOOOOO...

i mean post the fckin link mav.

Never mind Mav, I now understand that CBOE is one of these exchanges though a list of few firms that give more than 10-1 would be nice.
