there is access to bullets - through susquehanna (sp?). they're pricey (5 cents/share), but go down from there. if you really want the schedule, PM me and i'll get it from somebody. buying power? honestly, i've never heard of a limit on buying power. it's like credit...build confidence, show you are capable, and there are no problems. but, you said, '10,000ish," i would say it's safe to assume you would need to demonstrate your skills and/or share in the risk to be on that level, and rightfully so. there are plenty of people trading the multi-single-digit-thousand share positions. i will add that buying power is the biggest advantage of a prop firm and i plan on taking full advantage. there is a risk management team, thankfully. if there wasn't, they would've gone bust.
I'm interviewing at ETG in the near future, can you tell me a little about the interview process? I read on an earlier thread that there are multiple interviews, is that still the case? Also, is it very difficult to get hired there?
i would definitely have a lawyer familiar with the securities indusrty look over the contract..... regardless of which companies you are considering.
i mispoke. it's not 1.5, .75 after, it's 1.425 after 500k. that's horrible. i've been asking about this lately since it will now impact me, and this was the answer i got today.
1.5 cents? might as well us td webbroker lol who would pay this?? plus a 20% split??? wtf?? you guys must be kidding
