Good prop in Madrid
Hi,
I had been looking for a prop in Madrid for a long time. After working in Santander Bank Wealth Management, I wanted to have similar access to the market to do my own trading. What i mean is that i was looking for full ECN rebates on equities, an extremely low latency execution, cheap equity options commissions, etc.
The first few props I visited were just a scheme to make them commissions. Then, i found R&B Prop Trading. They dont have a prop structure per se but they have deals with Swift trading and other props (options, futures and FX). I get full ECN rebates and if I put market orders, I pay about 10 cens per 1000 shares. Then for options, I pay 40 cents per contract. Leverage is nearly unlimited for daytrading.
The atmosphere is cool and many traders come from an institutional background so one learns a few things being there.
I am truly honest when I say that they may have a better structure than many bigger props in NY or London since the deals are great and one can trade all types of financial instruments. I have been there for 3 months now.
