Can anyone confirm exactly how much daily liquidity prop traders bring to the markets % wise ? My guess is 25%
what do you consider a prop trader? you mean the guys who manually scalp a tick or 2 all day long or the automated firms like getco, atd, citadel, etc...
People that make their living (or trying to) directly for themselves from Licensed or LLC day trading firms.
Completely wrong. I trade 10 million shares a month and I am one of the smaller traders volume wise in my LLC.
Let's do some basic math. Average prop trader 25,000 (low end) - 250,000 (high end) shares per day. So let's just say 75,000 shares average per day per trader (give or take). Average prop house 250 traders Say 5 big houses and 10 smaller boutiques so lets take 7 as a round # 7 prop house x 250 Traders x 75,000 shares each per day = 131,250,000 shares volume per day hmmmmmmmm Hows that math ????
