What would you give up for say, 5MM BP?

  1. Probably not.

    Buying power is a non issue for me. I trade at a well known prop firm, but I trade a retail account so my BP is limited to 4:1.

    $5M bp, some drawdowns ok, no money up and no risk to me?

    I'd put together an income yeilding, hedged portfolio, trade around positions to enhance returns. Should be able to do 10-15% without too much difficulty, generating $5-700k a year. I'd give up 25% for this deal, no problem.

    Where do I sign?

    Ok, everyone keeps saying that if you put up more money as a deposit you can get more buying power at these PROP shops. But at some point isn’t there a limit.

    Let’s ask question to lescor he’s a smart knowledgeable guy.

    “What is the limit or most amount of money a trader can deposit at a PROP shop and what range would be the leverage multiplier be for this deposit amount”????????

    NOTE[The $5,000 down traders get 40:1 so there BP is around $100k if I put down say $1 million do I get $40 million BP!!!!!! WHAT]
