    Anybody heard of Generic Trade?

    Thanks for input. I downloaded their platform demo, and it is very basic, which isn't all bad. Sometimes, too many bells and whistles can distract you from what you should be doing - simply making money. So now, being new to futures, I'm thinking the indexes, in particular, the s&p...

    Anybody heard of Generic Trade?

    I just rceived an email from Generic and their site is operational; at least what there is of it, which is why I'm a bit skeptical. They are offering a flat commission per contract of $0.59,

    Worldco, Santa Monica..Bait and Switch

    <quote>Worldco in Santa Monica called me a couple times after I moved to Chicago. I still haven't seen a legit prop firm in Los Angeles. The second biggest city in this country doesn't have a legit prop???? Maybe I should open one in the future!!</quote> Maybe you should.
