i own a prop firm- don't worry about deals- we offer 2 cent per share commissions and will make you profitable- just bring us $10K as a deposit and we can help you make (us) money!!!! just give us 25% of profits in return!! don't delay- call today!!! thats bullshit- don't worry about your deal- i worked for a piker firm where i was charged 2 cents/ share at first, got no training and the manager was an asshole- the traders there were idiots- broadway- total losers- now i pay half that in commissions, work with real traders and make consistent money- so deal and environment are very important- but so is the training/ mentoring that you receive- the two essential components are training and your deal structure....
