y When you were with scottrade and you made more than 3 roundTrip turns and got flagged as a daytrader did they limit your account where u were unable to trade? I am currently having the same problem with tdameritrade where I am only allowed to make 3 round trip intra-day turns in a 5 day period. It is so frustrating, especially with a triple highly volatile etf called FAS. where u have to day trade this as it goes up and down over $1 per day.... Also, what prop firms have you been looking at in the city. I see steve schonfeld on the golf course all the time and he is the founder of opus, trillium, and is considered the pioneer and founding father of prop firms. I myself am trying to get into t3, schonfeld securities, etc but has been a pain in the ass without capital contribution
