Look, everyone knows that a 10k$ account doesn't last. You can ask any broker over a beer in London. If all you have is 10k$, you won't be able to sustain yourself efficiently and that will affect your mindset. Even if you are in a cheap city and only need 30-40k$ a year to live, you'll never...

Same, most "at home" prop firm don't legally hire you so you can do whatever you want.

Right well I don't know, maybe but what's the data ? Is this futures ? cfd ? what period ? I'm always looking for data but I need to know what it is

Most prop firms don't employ you really... so yes. If you speak about a serious prop firm.... you wouldn't want to work for more than 1 serious prop firm anyway because you'd be making a lot of money already.

I think you don't understand the definition of Income. Income is money that you make personnally. Yourself. On your account. This has nothing to do with money a corporation makes.

Hmmmm if 5 digits is 99,000 then you may find some institutional grade providers who will believe this is just a small margin to try out. If it's 10,000, it'll be much much harder.

You won't find a platform on a mac tho ? to trade I mean

Demo accounts may very well be just buggy. Your stop should have been hit.

No DB's potential failure is not connected to Brexit. This is just media noise.

Not really our fault, the prime brokerage business where a hedge fund has its money is not supposed to make money because of deposit - so Deutsche wouldn't make less money if we take our deposit out. They make money on exotic product matching and derivatives.

Monday and Friday are just normal days. If you trade long-term you'll keep positions over the weekend of course. Each trading style is different but statistically speaking you won't see any difference between wed and fri, just look at avg. range of daily market data
