I’m not sure ‘thrilling’ is what you should be looking for in a professional trading environment. Methodical, dispassionate, calculating, and astute, yes, but thrilling implies the kind of emotional decision-making and bias that can get you in trouble and lead to blowups.

Does anyone have any information about the Angle Group? I had an interview there a couple of weeks ago and I don’t know what to think of them.

I just sat there and watched them trade, and it didn’t seem to thrilling.

Any information would be great. Thanks guys.

Good info here, thanks to all who have contributed.

Just wanted to get solid list of shops that have offices in CA. I do know of some,
but figure someone would be able to add.

Best,

kw, thanks again for your reply.
It’s not about margin, but equity. Right now I use $5K per lot trading the ES. I net about $1000-1500 per day consistently. I take a “salary” every Friday and I build my main account slowly. I thought perhaps a prop firm could increase my capitalization by allowing me to trade their funds for a percentage of the profits. As an private trader, there’s a limit as to how much exposure I want in the market at any one time, regardless how well I am doing on a day-to-day basis.
I can certainly contribute to a prop firm to get started, but my goal was to trade their capital, in addition to my own.
Perhaps I was mistaken as to how prop firms work.
