What I don't get: in the (equity trading) prop business, a 15 % yearly gain on your BP is considered pretty good (e.g. with 2 M buying power,...
Ok. So I assume you ran a relatively small clearing firm and are now making the assumption that the bigger clearing firms cant hand out better...
I guess you're running a small B/D or something ? The bigger you are, the better clearing deal you can get (and compress trades etc)
Like noted before, if you REALLY are concerned about the possibility of professional hacking, there's only 1 solution: burn your HDD and dump/sell...
Of course not, there's nothing wrong with this economy, just keep buying, lol

I have about 10 L2's, 10 T&S and about 15 charts, news feed(s), some riskware and some additional software. I could perfectly do my thing with 4...
If you need speed (and most traders do), forget about Matrox cards, they're CPU hogs. I have an 8 19" monitor setup, currently split between 2...
Today $1200, for the week $8000, had hoped for a bit more, but based on this weeks lousy plays, I'm happy with it. Hated the way BEAS traded today...
Nice work, Szeven ! Congrats. My month totally sucked, but today was good and finally something worth posting :)
