I won't mention any names but there are several prop firms in Chicago that cater to derivatives traders. Stay away from the futures shops and the stock firms. Most people here know I run an office in Chicago. But I also know several others which you might want to check out. There are actually quite a few of them, they just don't advertise a lot. Feel free to PM me. The guys in the SPX pit on the floor are still doing well. As are the Eurodollar options traders at the Merc.
Agreed, spx and euro options are the best pits. Looks like the merc is increasing incentives to attract more flow to the electronic system. Spx pit is overflowing with people.
