I'm going to ask one more time. For those who cannot get into firms like First NY or Trillium, etc., what are the next best ALTERNATIVES. It's...
bigpapi, There's something seriously wrong with you. I don't know what else to say to you. You're a sick guy. By the way, I was looking...
Maverick74, I'm not going into my entire resume here. I do have other things in my background that I think can work in my favor, but I want to...
It's like a broken record around here. An alternative in which I'm not self-employed. Get it? NOT a tough concept people.
I get "defensive" (or, more accurately, ticked off) when people either make statements that I know not to be true, or when people don't answer the...
tickmagnet, Thank you. At least that's something constructive. Yes, I thought "broker" might be a response to this thread, and it is, in...
bigpapi, You don't know the first thing about me! How dare you make assumptions like this. You have no idea what the circumstances were at my...
Well, Nik, obviously you have some kind of chip on your shoulder. I don't know why, but I certainly have my theories. Honestly, people, this...
No, Nik, it's not that it's what I don't want to here. It's what I know to be not true. Several people told me that in order to get into one of...
So, in other words, EVERYONE who becomes a trader starts off on his/her own? I'm pretty sure that's not true. As for nothing "like portfolio...
Well, again, it depends on whether you're applying as a new or experienced trader! From First NY's own website, "Whether you are a proven and...
That's absolutely not true. Or, at least for their new trainees. Yes, they take veteran traders as well, but that's not what I'm talking about here.
Okay, well, then I do appreciate your feedback, even though it's not what I'm looking for. Just for the record, not to sound arrogant or...
Then why does a firm like First NY, for example, train people for 18-24 months? Besides, when you work for a firm, you work in a structured...
Okay, here's my situation. I spent a few months working at one of the "standard" prop firms (i.e., I have to put in my own money) and wasn't...
Actually, what I've heard about Keystone is that the deal is that you have to up be at least $100 (so basically above breakeven) at the end of the...
Yeah, okay, that's technically true, but I don't think that's what most of think of when they hear the words "trading someone else's capital." I...
rwk, Exactly. It seems like, from the prop firm's perspective, a "heads I win, tails you lose" scenario. If you (the trader) make money, they...
blackmamba, I assume you mean prop firms with no capital CONTRIBUTIONS, not prop firms with no capital. A prop firm with no capital doesn't...
GRG03002: Interesting idea. Do you happen to know where I can find out more about that kind of thing? Thanks. Gcapman: Just wondering --...
