    Mark-to-market downside

    "No, that is incorrect. Trading income is not considered earned income." but when you elect to use mtm, then it might not be deemed as trading income but as earned income

    Carlin Financial Prop Position

    producers in one office? hard to imagine. why they still want to pay a penny per share? but if its true then def go for it. the most u can loose is 6 months of your time. which is nothing compare to what u can possibly gain.

    Assent's charting package???

    does have their own charting software. pretty crappy last time i checked. but one of my friend told me the latest version is not so bad but still unstable. i guess it will take some time before they get everything down. most offices use AT financial or other vendors.
