sounds like a good idea, but one of the problems is turnover. most traders will lose money, and when they are out, they will not come back. so you open shop in a large metro area. but then you will compete with prop shops. The one good idea was to allow your customers to trade FX. FX markets are totally unregulated (no compliance issues) and anyone with enough capital can set up shop. So when you take in commissions, you'll at least make something to cover your expenses. (and it's more than the price of pizza)
I was exploring the possibility of operating a trading cafe with prop trading service. Revenue will come from food/drink service. We will also set up a sub-LLC under a major prop firm. I have some investors who will support my idea. One investor has the experience of running a cafe. We know how much is required to run a successful cafe, but we have no experience of running a prop firm. Anyone has ideas how much capital is required to operate a sub-LLC? Any suggestions?
