  4. Is First New York expanding into commodties and futures?
     
  5. anyone know if First New York Securities is expanding into commodities and futures trading?
     
  6. I have gone to two interviews there, and have had a friend work there. He was actually let go after about a year and a half or so and now trades for another large prop operation. From what I gathered and what I have been told, this is a totally legit and somewhat professional (depending on your definition).

    You'll have to deal with John Bender, best of luck. This wasn't really the correct fit for me, as much interest as both sides had.

    My friend personally did a lot of scalping and did ok- There was emphasis to generate more income and therefore larger/riskier bets, eventually placing a bad trade then they forced him out of. I guess there wasn't enough made back after that because they let him go about 3 months or so after that.
