Has anyone ever come across a list of firms broken down by location? Google searches usually don't yield results and the yellow pages are worthless. I want to find other firms in my area (not just prop, but any company with a trading division) that I can research. I'm located in southern California (Orange County). Any tips or personal experience would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
You could contact the "mainstream" trading magazines and request their issue with all of the firms listed in it. Start with FUTURES.
