ofthomas - can you say a little more about the differences between IB's retail and prop sides? What do you mean by getting "costs normalized" and are there other benefits you find valuable? Thank you.
simple... not having to deal with the tiers each month, starting from 0... but rather starting from your final tier from 0... thereby, "normalizing" ones costs.. because you make them constant... in other words, if you really have the volume, not just say you have it, it can be negotiated... you normally have to show 3 months history with IB at least...
