Trading E-Mini's at Prop Firm

[Neodude]

Aren't all the prop futures firms in Chicago?

I think Mako might have an office in NYC and I think Refco used to, no idea who owns it or if its still open.

here is an interesting question

are prop firms for futures trading harder to get into that

prop firms for equities trading ?

Quote from bondtrader76:

Actually, futures prop firms are more legitimate than stock firms. Futures firms actually offer real proprietary trading = no capital risk for the trader. Plus the amount of risk capital allocated to a successful trader at reputable futures prop shops is not something most people would have trading their own account. Along with member rates on commissions. It all depends on your strategy whether a futures prop is beneficial for you or not.

i have heard the same from several reputable sources & that is why i asked..........being that your`re using firm capital exclusively,your track record better be good & much more difficult than walking into an equities prop & plopping down you 5K.
