I am interested to hear some specifics also.
I have also heard some negative things but I can't substantiate them, but I am doing some research and will keep all posted on my findings.
Good summary. Another noteworthy point is that with a firm where you don't put up any money you will likely get a % of profits (50%-90%). And conversely firms where you put down money will give you 100%.
Just a heads up. I just registered and received a pm from a member saying, "Welcome to Elite trader.........." Then he plugged his chat website.
Not sure if this is suppossed to go on here so I thought I would let you know.
