I've been trading 3 years for an individual account and another 3 years for a company as a Trader. I've traded 6 years trading futures and 2 years in stocks. I'm a short-term to long-term trader. I have multiple systems that I trade. I'm also a trading system programmer using Tradestation's Easy Language.

I prefer working for a trading firm and getting a salary but it depends.

I'm not a proprietary trader (I trade with Prophet Trader) but you might want to checkout www.innovativetraders.com . I think they set people up with other firms and stuff. Let me know how it goes.

Take care,

Hold Brothers is shady in their accounting for trader payout in Jersey City. If they can steal a few grand from each trader each month, they will. 2 million errors, all in favor of the company. It can't be a coincidence. Get anything they tell you written in blood. They'll tell you one thing and do something else. Most profitable traders got fed up and left for another firm.

Software is OK, but no better than others. The Ass-HOLDs (Steve & Greg) are scummy, greedy and dishonest.

This guy's had 2 posts - what is this, a commercial? This is probably an owner or guy who is looking for you to get in there and give him/her commission.

But they do require S7 exam from the beginning, right?

I sent them 2 emails at this address inquiries@hrld.com nobody answered to me. I called the number from their site and left a message nobody returned my call. I called them again and spoke with a guy named John he told me that he would call me back, it has been 5 days since then he is still calling. I am not interested in talking with such a company.
