Hey you know an awful lot about attn and protrader, sp you gave pt up to gain liquidity pissing everyone off with attn? is this right?
i know a lot about everything. you see when I trade my datek account I have a lot of free time to look at websites and talk to other traders on et. when im not doing that i like to sail on my boat and trade remote. the big fish give me my buy and sell decisions.
i wouldn't say pissing evey one off the institutions like to take my blocks. they show it by paying .009
ProTrader has open houses all the time. I went to one. I found it interesting and got a good view of their software, commission structure etc. They ran a half hour video of one of their traders using the software. I found that very valuable. They'll even serve you dinner, so what do you have to lose?
A place where - the managers and help have a "conceited" attitude - they think its their systems that makes you money not you - overall, the resources are below average - trader gossip is abundant been there... will never go back
I have found protrader to be very conceited and really not that knowledgeable about their business. I do not think I would trader there based upon the few thoughts thrown around in here.
I've been trading at ProTrader for about a year and have found the staff to be very "down to earth" and extremely helpful, not conceited in the least. I also disagree with a previous post stating that the system is slow for scalpers. Most of my trades are scalps and I can honestly say that it is quite fast. The only down side is the commissions .015/share + ecn fees (roughly .02/share). But how many onsite retail trading (equities) firms are still around? I live in Chicago and this is the only one I know of.
