I was wondering if anyone has a complete list of futures trading prop firms. I am looking for a place to trade and a list would make things a lot easier. thanks

A few more in Chicago: Resource Trading Group--pretty much just futures Infinium Capital Management--these guys are oriented more towards options, I think SMW Trading Co.--futures and options Team NICO--a large futures trader that backs a few smaller traders. Not sure if he's still around. It may be spelled NIKO. Bob
Anyone know of any in San Francisco? Last time I looked it was Redwood, and one other (forget who). Now, I'm not sure there are any. Lots of equity shops though. Jay
At VTrader, we are mostly options and futures prop (JBO). Equities as well of course. PM for more information about website, locations, costs, leverage, etc. Pete
Refco has a Prop desk. I know Pioneer funds experienced trader's upstairs at The NY Merc., also a Refco affiliate.
FWIW, I found a recent CME Clearing Member Firms list with the Class A Members dated 4/4/05. A few other firms that were omitted in the original list: Jump Trading, LLC Fortis Clearing Chicago, LLC Advantage Futures, LLC Tradelink, LLC Gelber Group, LLC Millenium Partners, LP Medallion Trading Ronin Capital, LLC
