HI JONES247 U can take a look at Benchmarq trading patners (BTP ) U dont need series 7 as they area a cbsx BD I think they have laser and sterling mean while not sure what other platform they have. You can get in touch with them and see mean while if you are interested.....
Piggie get your head out of the mud you have no idea what you are talking about. I saw your post earlier about Genesis? Laser? probably the worst platform i ever used. Anvil and Lightspeed are very similar I have used both and spoken with a few assent traders who are going to Lightspeed because of it. I heard they are also offering a real good commission deal to all new assent traders coming over. As far as avatar they run a legit business. get a clue or stop posting nonsense
Been trading in the Assent LA office for few years now Today's announcement is no doubt unfortunate But I guess when traders are dropping like flies The entire trading firm can very well be the next one to go Already got a backup plan in place but definitely want to look around before I sign the dotted line Anyone know any other good prop trading firms in the LA area? I know Bright has offices here. Thanks
I heard your boy Joe was shopping your whole office around. Maybe you can just stay where you are and a new name will go on the door.
The latest I have heard is that many ("100's" was what I heard) of the NY-area ex-Assent traders have already been scooped up by a new firm that has known that this was going down for weeks if not months.
So how are many of these series 7 traders going to lightspeed? lightspeed has a few llc offices but they're probably not around much longer as most are being shut down. most assent traders are getting leverage thus lightspeed might not cut it.i'm sure most of the assent offices will work ou there own deals to keep there traders.
Has not been sold to the previous owners of Andover Brokerage, instead it is being held as intellectual property by Sungard. For now..... Many of the branch heads I spoke with believe the system will stay around. The old owners are recruiting hard for a new company, which they will probably sell to Sungard in a few years again. As for other companies, I hear Dimension in NYC is handing out new deals and LightSpeed is always a favorite. If the Anvil system does stay around, I will stay on it. Nothing tops the API speed for non-HFT black box trading
That's the new BD I was talking about. In partnership with Legend. Ex-SEC head in the mix somewhere too.
I guess it'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the next 2 months. Just hope they don't forget that Assent does have an office in LA!
From what I understand at my frim is that Anvil will still be accessable to select firms that have rights to continue to use the platform. Hopefully this clears this up for you, so as long as your firm is not assent you should be able to continue to use the platform.
