I don't care if the firm takes too much of my profit. I don't care if they give me relatively little capital to work with. I DO want a firm that doesn't require tuition or cap. contr., will hire an inexperienced trader, and offers SOME form of training. Does such a firm exist? Or is this like searching the world for a unicorn?
I'd say it's the latter. Very few places fit your criteria since the risk/reward ratio doesn't make sense for most of the firms out there. The attached location MAY be what you are looking for. Not sure.
Kershner Trading in Austin fits your criteria. I just posted my interview experience there: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=139945&goto=newpost Also, Swifttrade in Canada and Title Trading also in Canada. Don't know of any others besides Kershner in the U.S.
