Quote from goldenarm:
What prop firm will give a newbie $1M-$3M in buying power? He'll be lucky to get $150K. The bigger leverage only goes to experienced, profitable traders with a large bankroll to begin with.
I get $250,000 right now and I can get more by asking, without any capital down. My account balance can even go negative.

Of course, I pay huge commissions because of this.
