    Ok---well i guess they don't have an office here in Boston.

    so i had a few questions:
    1) Do they want an intial deposit?

    2) I'm new to prop trading, but not trading, i used to work on an institutional desk @ Bear Stearns in Boston before they went under. So i'm starting to wonder just HOW much of a benefit it would be to sit with other fellow traders???

    I guess i keep thinking that if i sit next to other traders their knowledge will some how rub off...but the thing is that i've been reading everything i can get my hands on regarding trading.

    I'm a big fan of Larry Levin, i go to all the trader sites, i.e. traderslog and as well as ET..so i'm thinking of just doing it remotely. Anybody have any suggestions agaisn't doing this??

    I want to get in the game already.

  3. No direct experience with any of those. But to underline what others have said, interview them. If you are interviewed by some feminist bozo who has to be right or has to control the conversation, walk. Not even worth it.

  6. keep in mind YOU are interviewing THEM, not the other way around. Listen to what they offer you and choose between the 3. Don't forget to mention to each of them that you have more interviews. Personally, I wouldn't recommend HOLD.......greybox is kinda bad.
