Nowler I'd be very surprised if you found a legit prop doing general intakes any more and since I like your attitude, it's tough to watch. Optiver/Jane Street/First NY/Oak Cap/T3/even Met are all essentially mini quant funds now. They only want quant minded/quant educated people. The...

"Move markets at will." Are you trading in illiquid synthetic products where you have a counterparty making a market at your request??? You must be an extremely wealthy guy if so. Nah you trade FX.... so wtf are you banging on about when you refer to market makers moving markets at will? Who...

Doesn't exist I'm afraid. Save up more cash if you want to go that route. Edit: some shops offer a form of L2, but the trades themselves are actually CFD, not DMA and the trade types limited. Some offer imitation L2 showing their own depth. I dunno ProSpreads is prob the closest you'll get...

Do Oanda offer institutional stop triggers? If this happens to you semi regularly, you might want to ask them if they do "buy stop if bid" and "sell stop if ask" type orders. That way you won't have a trade triggered on a widened spread. Edit - to add to this I'm sure this little "retail...

I was very subtly implying your various autistic speeches of late belong in a comic, since they're so ridiculous. Must speak with total clarity to you as I do occasionally forget you're on another level to the rest of us.

You're the worst Batman villain of all time.

Now that would be nice. A balance sheet too. Assets Internet Fame Liabilities One busted rocket ship.

You're a mensch, sir, but CF21s could trade most, if not all the stuff CF26s did (I held CF26 in my time). Not sure this is a smoking gun. They were all so blurred anyway that the FSA gave up back in 2007 and now every non partner firm employee who trades is a CF30.

It's not worth knowing, don't do it unless you need to make 5% on a 250 mill desk assignment. Pip sort your s**t out and go to University or something, you won't find riches here.

Provided the overall floor exposure is about flat. Before the Volcker Rule many IBs traded in this way. Some got burned in Japan...

Interactive Brokers do it don't they??? https://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk/en/index.php?f=1563 A number of OTCBB market centers. They have a proper UK entity. If you're poorly capitalised though that might be an issue.

Depends on your interpretation. You had a lot of people making a lot of money who had no real intelligent edge - the CME pit was a license to frontrun in its heyday and some of the old guys you meet from those days are about as unqualified as it comes. They eventually got shut down by smarter...

Not necessarily, I mean these days if you're trading in a high pressure environment, elevated heart rate, cortisol levels through the roof, uncertain - unlikely you have a long term edge. The only people I know who do this in the modern day and making money are trading penny equities. Everyone...

Successful trading in of itself is extremely boring, though the things it can lead to are not. Seat of your pants stuff kind of died with the pits I'm sorry to say. Maybe it still exists trading small cap US equities in the morning and that's about it. Definitely not in the liquid monster...

I don't think you know what a pool is, Joe. Except for the one you get to use free on Tuesdays courtesy of the council outreach programme. Get googling and you can come back and pretend you "developed a system for a guy..." Strange that the world has seen fit to reward so many idiotic...
