if i take my 77 and 55 and am sponsored by a firm,can i leave that firm to go to another and still keep my license? do i have to stay at the sponser firm for any length of time? does the IRS have more details about my trading when licensed opposed to NOT being licensed? if i eventually decide to go retail when i am licensed,do i pay schwab or tradstaion more in fee's? how much more?
a. yes, it stays active for 2 years after leaving. b. no,no c.yes, if you tell them you are licensed, no if you "forget to"! Professional exchange fees are a bit more, for NYSE/NASDAQ look it up on here. http://www.tradestation.com/brokerage/market_data.shtm
