1) "Messing around with 100 share lots" is all you should be messing around with! You're a newbie. Do you think they're going to let you walk in off of the street and start banging around huge size??? I think not. 2) I think your assumption is correct in that you will not be able to transfer that style of trading to another prop firm. 3) I have not heard one good thing about this firm from anyone on this site. 4) If you're waiting around for another prop firm to come along in Ontario, you'll be waiting along time (Forever). And you will never get hired by a trading firm in the states, because its nearly impossible to get a visa and they don't want to go through the hassle. 5) That said, you SHOULD TAKE the offer from Swifttrade and use their $$$ to finance YOUR initial learning curve. Good luck
