Interesting. I'll have to check them out a bit more. Agreed on those thoughts, I've had them as well, plus, when you are trading OPM they get even...
IB gives out 7X leverage? What amount of capital do you need to have in the account to get that rate? 8%-10% draw down on that size of capital...
Seems straight-forward to me. Only way it's worth your time to put money at a prop is if they can get you leverage overnight, personal opinion.

It is. What is even more fascinating is the amt. of capital some of these characters are able to raise.
That seems worth it though, esp. if one is serious about growing and creating a real business out of this.
Just wondering, if anyone cares to share, what rates you pay per option at TOS. Currently I am at $1 a contract putting through about 800-1000...
