Hey Dusky.. I came across BullsonWallStreet/Lake St. just recently...wondering if u had any updates? Considering joining them...
everything is still going great. Def recommend them. Things have even gotten better since I first started. They added some things that allowed for more shorts to be available and Bulls is also currently working on some cheaper fee's and such for members.
what about with Lake St? Any issues with withdrawals/payouts? have u been profitable - i.e. has ur trading improved?
no issues with withdrawls. You can only withdrawl twice a month though, 1st and 15th and you submit the withdrawl the day before. Some weeks I'm up and some weeks I'm down. Ive had a busy summer with work and haven't been able to put a lot of full time into day trading. Once my current project is over I'll dedicate more time to the actual day trading again. As of now I really only get in about 1 day a week, can't wait to get back to 5. I def do better when I can sit down for a full day/week and follow a set plan, jumping in sporatically is more hit or miss and isn't recommended.
See this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=248221&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 Looks like people are having issue with them paying. The SEC is shutting down these unregistered firms left and right. Stick with a CBSX BD.
thanks for the heads up. It's unfortunate the amount of crooks out there. Just goes to show you can never do too much research into a firm
Cmoss, I hope I didn't imply they are crooks. I don't know them personally and have no knowledge if they have stolen anyone's money yet. I don't think they have criminal intent, but they are taking shortcuts by not registering as a broker dealer. It is highly probable that the SEC will shut them down and have all their accounts frozen. Especially since traders have complained to the SEC about them already. They are on the radar. When this happens traders will get little if any of their money back. I have warned traders about other non registered firms in the past and they have been shut down.
you didnt imply that at all, if it smells like shit and looks like shit it's probly shit is my conclusion
I haven't been trading for a few months but I still cant report any problems. I still have my money in that account and they've allowed me to keep it in there with no penalties and no further charges while I am un-able to trade. Im very busy in the Fall with my job and am un-able to day trade so they let me freeze the account until I can come back.
