It's just so sad that the underwriters specifically targeted the retail market, just to extract every last cent they could for the angels... If...
Yep, I think that's correct. I've been trading futures through AMP for several years. I opened an account with them in Vancouver with no issues.
Awww... Did mommy and daddy get filled at $42? So nice of you to join ET to try and help them out :cool:
Sorry, my mistake. I meant that I agreed with ScalperJoe in that $6.50/1k is expensive for Prop - nothing wrong with that pricing for retail....
Yeah, ScalperJoe is right - $6.50/1k is way high. You should be able to find 0.20/1k in the right environment. if you're retail, I don't know...
You've nailed it - counterparty or C1 risk is the reason no one will buy from you... Trust me, the risk profile of all counterparties is...
I'm rooting for you keeptradin! There's always an ES ticker open every morning so I can see how its going. I think this is a fun idea - take a...
I think this thread has spiraled way out of control. I'm sure it started with the best of intentions but its become a ridiculous witch-hunt....
Having traversed the route from scheduler to trader, it's a great way to break into the industry. However, it's not as glamorous as it sounds....
I believe its 0.20 RT to use the static DOM. From what I remember, its a licensing fee paid to TT (anyone feel free to jump in here if I'm wrong)...

You are incorrect regarding commissions. $1.99 is the base rate/contract, RT - flat, all fees in. It is not charged x 2 as per your example. I...
That's not true. You get the standard version (or whatever It's called) free for live trading. You need the license for the ATM features, chart...
Yes, right on the money! Opportunity arises when supply curtails/increases at basis points and other points pull/push as a result - very location...
I used to trade NG basis but I traded directly on ICE with webICE as the front end - Western Canadian points. Just curious as to why you are...
This is pretty interesting - I don't trade equities or FX but theoretically both you and your b/d can both make money simultaneously? Please...
It didn't affect my trading negatively at all - in fact, it improved greatly. I came from an energy trading desk and although I loved the job, I...
Unfortunately not, because those people are all working 8-10 hr day jobs. I recently test drove retirement (early 30's) to spend time with my...
Exactly - meant to "weed out those couldn't study and pass the test". So the OP here wants to become a career trader but doesn't have the...
Well seeing how you are so motivated, driven, and clearly willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, I'll personally call Jamie Dimon on your...
