Hahahahaha You should have to pay top dollar to be in the same room as mnx. Lord knows I would Campus is great. If you want to see how the american markets actually move, its a good learning experience. And, as usual, it's the people who can't make a dime who bitch and moan about how swift sucks. All the platforms suck. It's just that swift is the biggest, hence, the biggest turnover, and the most losers. Voila. S
Do you mean they made $500k for the company and kept 1/3rd of that for themselves? Do you mean these guys are making $100k/month for themselves, or is that before a profit split?
The Hamiton guys are making that amount. I don't work in that office but I know. However, the turnover rate at Swift Trade is high and the Hamiton results are abnormal. There are plenty of losers at Swift Trade who don't make the cut and whines like a baby wah wah.... I would give it a try. You got nothing to lose since all losses are covered by the company. If you tried and failed, don't feel too bad. I observed that approimately 4,5 people out of 10 can make the cut.
Hows things get out of control.Yes the Hamilton branch DID make that much but once again they couldnt keep what they where doing a secret anymore .Now we all know HOW they made the money and we all do it, CAN YOU SPELL MILINIEUM.Thanks and keep up the good work Swifities. momo
I have absolutely no experience, and no training, but am interested in becoming a trader. I was thinking of applying at Swift because I don't know of any other options right now. And help of where I could start looking? I don't mind starting at the bottom, as long as there is the opportunity for advancement. Any help is appreciated. TIA
"CAN YOU SPELL MILINIEUM." you mean MILLENNIUM? LOL Ironically, NYFIX is much easier to spell. I know because I had to go to NYFIX.com to get the correct spelling for millennium. Also, I wouldn't say we can all do it. I have three different strategies for nyfix but no one will tell me what that marco scanner thingy is really called or where to get one or even what cpu language I need to know to write one. I was hoping it was java script and not Java but hey for all I know its written in DOS.
Learn on your own! You will get raped if you put up a bunch of cash at a prop firm with NO experience! Swift U is just another way for them to get more money out of nieve traders. -Kastro
Actually, I work there and really its a great experience. You don't have to put any money down, they take the losses, so that makes it a much safer way to learn than opening your own account (which is very costly). I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in this business.
With no experience and no training, then Swift is probably your best option. I don't know of any other firms out there that will let you start trading without risking any money yourself. Probably about 90% of the people that try prop-trading, are "NOT" successful at it. That's just the reality of the business. So it's better to find out as cheap as possible if it's meant for you. I know a lot of people out there bad mouth Swift. But you will also find that most of those people are part of the 90% who never made it and they are looking to pass the blame. I worked there for over 2 years and have now moved on to better things, but it was a great place to start a trading career. I hope this helps. Cheers
