wellmax'x posts here were deleted by the administrator after I called his bluff and his posts were checked out.... so don't think I was ranting about nothing earlier
Momo, I use the term proprietary trading to mean the business of putting one's capital behind other people and taking financial risk on their performance. Vito Sisto
I am sure they would put their P & L against your P & L any week. You sound a little jealous, did your daddy abandon you?
and at least their sales pitch is not some lame comparison against bright and how bright skirts the rules etc..
how many times a day does jonathon call his clearing firm to hang brokers at the exchange. I bet they cant wait to hear his voice.
OVERtheLine, I apologize if you feel slighted by the "daddy" comments, sorry if I struck a nerve. The sales pitch has changed somewhat...we do not compare ECHO vs our competitors in some "lame" manner that you suggested. All we have to do is let prospective traders talk to the traders in our office and it "sells" itself. I suspect that is why our office has 16 traders in 5 short months (since opening) with SIX more coming in by July. I am not bragging about any recruiting ability, none is needed. As far as myself, I take pride in fighting for every fill I am entitled to if it makes a significant difference. Maybe if you were more familiar with listed trading, you would understand that the specialist is NOT your friend. Why don't you grow a pair and identify yourself and use your real name? I am betting you were one of those ex-protrader guys looking for a free ride that bragged about what a "great" trader you were but when asked to bring in some sheets for proof, you disappeared... You must be doing very well since you were posting earlier looking for someone in San Diego to split a T-1 line, what do those go for now $600 a month? Is trading that tough for you? If you need a job, we have some traders that could use a "trading assistant" to get coffee. You will find out that when you come on the attack on one of our guys, we will come out fighting. Why don't you come on down to the office and confront our "protrader kids" in person? I forgot, it is much easier to hide behind some screenname on a message board, but after reading all your previous posts on elitetrader your comments are on par, simple anonymous attacks to stir it up... What a joke.
If the previous post was a little harsh, I apologize, I am just getting ready to go watch the Tyson / Lewis fight tonight and got a little excited... Tyson in 6. Wagers anyone? A few of us ECHOtraders will be at the Fillin Station Pub and Grill on Miramar Road to watch the fight, you are welcome to join us OVERtheLINE, no hard feelings.
