    Hi everyone,
    On behalf of my nephew who's asked for some advise on this issue, I've agreed to do some research on this subject matter.
    With regard to the previously mentioned definition of a professional:
    "A firm takes a trader's risk deposit, and the trader trades his method. The firm makes money from commissions and software fees. So a guy with $5K can trade various leverage levels like 10:1, 30:1, 100:1 in equities. These firms that offer higher leverage justify the risk because they will make more commission dollars."
    Does this variation require one to be licensed?
    How about an arcade relationship?
    Thanks in advance.

    Would you therefore say a prop shop that doesnt make commissions of your trades would be a better one to go for as surly they have your trding success at their best interest?

    Or do these not exist?

    There are a few, but that doesn't mean that they will teach you how to trade.

    Firms who make nada on commish will usually look for established traders. Or there's Swift.
