That's like.. the same as a few retail shops.

Lightspeed doesn't have a platform fee either:

Interactive Brokers is even cheaper...


Something's not legit about this...

I'm not clear about what your trying to say. Are so saying this is a good or bad deal? You also can't compare to your own retail account. You can't day trade with $5K.

BTW, this deal is not legal in the US. If they are set up as a hedge fund or any other customer account that is not a broker dealer, it is a RED flag that they offer 100% payouts. It implies they are making money from marking up commissions which only a broker dealer can do. I would stay away.

I donno... paying retail commissions for the privilege of busting out an over-leveraged $5k account as I try to make enough to cover my platform fees and expenses each month with a firm that clearly isn't operating within US regulations sounds like a hell of a deal to me.

Where do I sign up? lol

Seriously speaking, under-capitalized have better options out there.. even if they can't get hired by a firm who will back them, working other jobs and saving up til you're properly capitalized is a better option than losing $5k trying to pay the bills day-trading.

And this isn't a 'small traders lose, they just lose' emg style rant either, as I don't think a trader needs a few hundred thousand in their account and an Ivy education to trade for a living... I'm just speaking practically here.
