Let's start an official thread on this. Seems like there are a million threads out there on prop trading and all the information is scattered around. The three topics are.. Startup Costs: What it costs to start with the firm. Leverage: Intraday leverage, overnight leverage. Trading: What you can trade and general trading information. --------------------------------------- I am going to try and compile all the data I can find into this thread so I can compare them as well as help other traders compare prop shops. Please help out if you can by sharing information you know of on certain prop shops in this thread.
