May be time to look for another broker, at least for back-up. What advantages does Watley offer?

 

none really... what are some suggestions? (where dont i have to put up my own capital or if so what firm firm has reasonable minimums???)

 

Interactive Brokers has $2,000 minimum to open account. You will need $2,000 maintenance for margin account trading, but if you don't use margin you could open a cash account and not need a maintenance minimum.

You'll get more complete answers in the Direct-Access Brokers topic.

 

Where is IB Located???

 

Main headquarters in Connecticut. But they are worldwide. Not a "prop" firm. You trade from your own computer.

www.interactivebrokers.com

 

any suggestions for any Prop Firms in the Midtown (NYC) Area???

 

That must be the world capital for them. But I'm not the one to ask. I would ask in the Pro Firms topic.

 

wheres that?

 

Click Forums from the Elite Trader menu.

Or click Forum Jump from the bottom of this page. It's the 9th topic down, subheading of Direct-Access Brokers category.

 

thanks chief...
