Let me ask you so. What question would you ask in order to get a good idea of what you should expect if you were interviewing considering you are paid as a percentage of your profits?

would you want to know what risk parameters you have? This is a genuine question because some prop firms say if you lodge 25k or what ever they will let you leverage 5 times which I find odd because its all about how much you can lose. If you can only lose your own 25k then it would be risky to...

Need to understand better what the set up would be at a place like this if I joined. Can anyone help?? How do they manage risk? How much can you lose? How long do you have to prove you can consistently make money? What is the turnover of people? Is this basically just day trading so very...

Can anyone tell me the usual deal in terms of capital and amount you are allowed to lose etc when you join a trading arcade. Looking at Geneva and want ot get a better feel for potential returns that can be made there and viability of the position? Thanks

how exactly does it work if you work at Geneva?

what do u mean by that? how is the current environment good for big ears?
