It's not advantageous. According to the 20 days (1 month) of trading data I used, the trader's net payout would be almost identical using either structure. Your costs (Bright Trading's take) would almost be the same also. The only reason a trader agrees to take a 40% payout (or less) is to shift the risk towards the firm.
And the controversy continues. We have always had that program, and it seems to make more sense....but we try to "please everyone" if we can. Don
correct- for traders in middle a gross payout of 35 to 40 perc ent is roughly = to commission charges + a high profit payout there are traders who gross e.g. 40k from market but after commissions net zero and a 35% payout is reasonable. each trader can figure out his individual circumstances.
