yes, but how many of those do not require any capital contribution? Unless you have contacted them, or know someone that works there or have traded for them before.
I think the biggest problem is people like you littering this board. I am also searching for info on this material and really do not feel like reading your useless insults and garbage. How about a nice cup of stfu if you don't want to contribute?
I also found this post by dr_sean at http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=152604&perpage=6&pagenumber=2 No mention if they require capital contribution, but sure worth checking out. dr_sean 03-18-09 11:26 AM here is a little working list of salary paying US firms (pretty much all options market makers) Spot Trading (prop trading pays a salary, upstairs) Jump Trading (prop trading pays a salary, upstairs) Infinium Capital (CBOE equity, index, CME financial & ag, on floor & upstairs) Wolverine (CBOE equity & index market making, CME, on floor & upstairs) Group One (CBOE equity market making, on floor) Jane Street Capital (does equity market making as well as pairs trades / they allege "stat arb" wrongly, on floor & upstairs) Ronin (market making w/ some prop mixed in I think, not positive they start you on a salary that but I believe so, on floor & upstairs) Belvedere (SPX, OEX market making, on floor) Transmarket (CME fixed income market making, upstairs) Susquehanna (CBOE equity market making, ETF market making, on floor & upstairs) IMC (CBOE equity & index market making on floor & upstairs) Optiver (CBOE equity & index market making all upstairs) Peak6 (CBOE equity market making all upstairs) Chicago Trading Co.

I visited their site but can't find any career opportunities page. Do you know the link where you send the resume? Much appreciated, thanks
You can't trade for Swift Trade if you're from the U.S. They do not have any U.S. offices. Only if you have the capital to get a broker-dealer license and open up a trading floor can you operate through them. I sent them my resume, this was their reply: Thanks for your email, and your interest in becoming a trader here at Swift trade. Unfortunately, we do not have any offices in the US due to the regulatory restrictions. We are hoping that will change and that we will soon have offices in that part of the world. You may, trade at one of our other locations, or you may even open a Powered by Swift Trade trading floor of your own. In the US you must be a Broker Dealer in order to have a Powered by Swift Trade Office. I have attached here a PDF file for you to look at, as well as two websites with Broker License information should you be interested.
