Hedge fund traders can take any time frame they see fit on a given position, and have unfettered access to systems, research tools, etc. What's the advantage of working for a daytrading firm? Are daytraders basically not good enough at their craft to trade at a hedge fund? Hedge fund traders can NOT take any time frame they see fit on a given position, they trade according to the fund's strategy.

Hedge fund traders can be daytraders and daytraders can be hedge fund traders, the two are not mutually exclusive. IMO, I don't think it's worth it to start a hedge fund unless you can raise a MINIMUM of million.

Please explain how I can daytrade on a few million of prop firm capital and realistically take home that same kind of income? Don and Longhorns are right on the money.

The advantage of prop firms is the leverage IF you know how to use it. Taking huge directional bets is not the way to do it.

Running a fund makes no sense unless- a you can raise a huge amount of money AND your strategies are scalable enough to take advantage of it. I know several guys making mid 6 figures a year trading prop and using the firm's capital at little to no cost to them.

Seems like a no-brainer to all of us. The "day of the daytrader" has been long over. You must log in or sign up to reply here.
