    Does anyone out there know anything about Etrade's prop. trading divsion? I am currently working for a prop. firm now and my friend told me about a prop. trading dept. at Etrade in NYC. I never heard about it until now and was thinking about checking it out. Anyone else hear about this?
     
  2. they took over Momentum trading - do not know what the plans are for the prop division going forward ????

  4. If and/or when we ever have another bull market again, they will be the leader in the industry.

    What do you think Don?
     
  5. i am certain that e*trade professional capital base is much higher than any of the other typical prop firms. the question is--- will there be enough public interest in the equity market for them to continue with all the overhead ? the shrine they built for trading on madison in NYC is obviously not inexpensive to maintain, etc. i certainly give them credit for keeping the faith in the day trading phenomena during this time.

    all the best,
