Quote from londonkid:
Here I have corrected your post for accuracy.
1. 'They will charge traders really cheap commissions, maybe even 30cents per 1000 shares'
This should read maybe even 20c.
2. 'The Firm keep half or more of those profits.'
This should read the firm keep 20% to 25% of the profits depending on volume.
3. 'Traders can lose a few $1000 per day, and still make money for the Firm net, even some for themselves.'
This should read, it is possible for a trader to finish gross negative but net rebate positive however most target gross positive net positive by also capturing the spread along the way.
Apart from that it is all good.

+1 except that I will take it a step further and say that most prop firms are paying in the range of 12-18c per thousand shares and rebate trading at 30c per thousand is a really good algo because 30c per thousand is expensive.
If you pay 30c per thousand just know that your prop firm is making a 15c rip on you so don't split a dime with them.

Are you insinuating that Sir Don Bright is overcharging his arcade traders?
He said 3 mil is a good rate. I believe Don Bright. He can't possibly rip anybody off. Say it ain't so. My heart will be broken. No, it will be shattered. I will cry two rivers for a month.
I was very interested in his $50k elite trader trading courses just so I could speak like an elite trader. I don't really care if I can trade like one. That would be asking for too much.
Winston: How much and how long would it take to setup a 'mini-prop' llc in the US to handle 5-10 foreign 'prop' clients doing only SPY and options on SPY?. ES and other futures too, if possible. Zero client business with US persons.Quote from WinstonTJ:
