  1. I am 27,new to day trading, not new to financial markets . worked on wall street a few years(NOT in trading), but I have a strong read on markets and price action.

    My deal is: 70% payout , $600K buying power intra day and $600K overnight , 3000 shares max per position. The buying power and share amounts will go up once i prove myself. commission is 0.008 per share.

    Is this a good deal?? And much much much more important:is this enough to make good money??
     
  2. How much do you have to put up?

    For a newbie, this looks like a good deal. You can definitely make money. If you do enough volume, you'll be able to lower your rates down the line. Are there any other costs (i.e., desk fees, training fees, etc.). If there are none and the .08/share is all-inclusive, then go for it.
     
  3. If you're not putting up money, it's a good deal.

    If you are putting up money, it's a terrible deal.
