I had some discussions with another trader on this website, and he mentioned that he was considering trading with Echotrade at one point, but there was some way in which the contract was worded that made him think his capital was at risk more than with some of the other pro firms. I still...

Personally I think Dearborn's materials are the best. Two reasons. First, they give you a ton of questions as you're going along. You may get 100 practice questions by the time you get through the chapter. I always heard how great STC is, but you only get 15-20 practice questions per chapter...

So it's a 6 hour test, broken down into two 3-hour sessions. What happens if you get done with the first part well before the first 3 hours? Do you have to just sit there for a couple hours twiddling your thumbs, or can you start part 2 early? These 125 practice tests only take about an hour...
