Futex, my question was a more broad one about the industry in general. The reason I directed it towards your firm is that your firm is the one most mentioned on these threads. But I appreciate you taking time to respond. I was not trying to imply that Futex was not doing well, rather was...

So is it safe to say prop trading in London as we know it is over? A year ago you could have started a thread on Futex or any of the more popular firms and you would have people coming out from all corners either defending the firms or attacking them. Now, both sides are completely gone. Just...

I don't know if the lack of response means everyone is gone for the summer or if there is really nobody out there. I'm sure many of you guys saw the letter Steve Schonfeld sent to the Wall Street Journal about having to let go of 50 traders and saying that trading as we knew it from the earlier...

So no Futex traders on this board with any comments? What about MET traders?

I thought they always had a city office. Where is the new one located?

Just wondering how Futex is hanging in there with this current market environment. In the states prop firms are scaling back big time and p&l is down across the board. Do we have any Futex insiders here that wish to comment? I think this environment is a great tell for how well a firm will do...

FXTrend240, I have been trading over 10 years. I have done both daytrading and swing trading and I can tell you without a doubt that swing trading is substantially harder then daytrading and requires twice the amount of hours as daytrading. It's very misleading. As a swing trader, not only...

Are you in London or Chicago?

Yeah, that's the one. I'm on holiday at the moment. I'll be back Monday evening. I'll get you that info then.

John Galt...I have that magazine if it's the one I'm thinking of. I know there was a US and a UK version. I have the US magazine where it mentions Bradley Young in the top 30 under 30. Talked about him making 400k a week then taking the rest of the month off. If this is the one, I can dig it...

Maggie, the trading simulation will be what we call mock trading. You will have a guy scream prices at you and you will have to make a market. In other words, you will need to know your synthetics. He will tell you stock XYZ is trading at 102.50. The August 100 call is trading for 5.50...

Even the prop traders who trade STIRS for fixed income prop shops?

How is it possible that there are 100's if not over 1k prop traders in the UK trading STIRS and yet this thread receives no interest?

Great thread. Any chances of reviving it? Come on Gecko!

Anyone know if Bradley Young is still with Futex? And how is he doing this year?
