The la assent office is a joke, whoever tradeking is obviously knows...it has the biggest collection of non existent incompetent traders I've ever seen. I trade here but not much longer....another week or so.....started at kershner in Austin, and now assent through Austin tx office....been living 1 year temporarily in los angeles, trading for 4 years. The city is great for my other stuff, but la offers nothing the way of finance/trading......glad I know how to trade from real trading offices, I wouldn't wish the la assent office on anybody...never seen weirder incompetents in my life......not trying to be rude....but its true....go somewhere else if you want to trade...I'm back to Austin then a gig in NYC....people need to know the truth about it...and nobody is even really running the place.....its so bad I had to ask for a private office...happy searching
I keep seeing this thread pop up so I thought I'd say whatup, so...whatup??? I'm in Malibu, playing stock options with small money right now but looking to ante up and trade long term. I've been at it been at it on and off for two years, I like daytrading the YM, also considering prop stock trading.
I live near LAX and have been trading ( full time and now part time ) since 1997. If anyone is interested in getting together in Los Angeles send me a message I would be interested.
I'm at the 210 & 57 I had gone to the OC Daytraders meetings years ago. I'd be up for a get together.
Great! I will like a get together also. I'm open to suggestions. Where & when? Centralized location maybe good to accommodate people coming from far location. Luckily, none of us are selling any thing It will be wonderful ... to see & meet other traders around here.
so is the chicago wasserman/assent office to be avoided also? i am currently seeking an entry level trading position in the chicago area. It seems that the more research I do about a firm, the more dirt turns up every time on this forum. I am to have an interview with them soon, is it worth it to start my career here ? Does anyone know the capital required to start , and commissions ?
Good question....will be nice to know since I have not met any trader in their Chicago office. My focus for now is the LA branch of prop firms. I hope that their Chicago office will, at the very least, be far better than here. Chicago is home to many prop firms to chose from. Firms have to meet certain standards & get themselves to a comparable level in other to compete...or they go out of business. It is not like LA, where anything goes due to lack of competition. Their deposit is 10k for prop & 30k for retail, no desk fee. Commission depends on your negotiation skills & # of shares/month. Hope this helps...goodluck with your search.
