    Hey Hydro, it looks like Federal Gov. is neck deep in the kerosene lamp business with 3 models to choose from FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. With the passing of this bill FHA now allows for the no money down kerosene lamp............ lol. :D :D

    Bright vs. Genesis vs. Tuco vs. xEcho ?

    I agree with your reasoning 100%. In that scenario you would be much better off with that fee structure. For me it would not work in my favor. I am better paying a per share fee and keeping 100%. I think Schonfeld also has a gross profit split option that you can opt for as well. When...

    Bright vs. Genesis vs. Tuco vs. xEcho ?

    SwiftMike99, RE: Or you could go to swift or other prop with similar model and pay 20 cents per 1000 shares. Doesn't Swift take a significant % of your profits in return for the lower fee structure?

    Why Daytrade????

    Vectors RE: because most people have real jobs that's why and don't have to daytrade You should rephrase the don't have to part; most people would rather make a 6 to 7 figure income working on their own trading the markets than working a day job. The last time I checked living the...

    Why Daytrade????

    Why limit yourself by not daytrading. In the markets like any endeavor; the more you can integrate into your strategy the more robust it will be. Maybe the question should be: why not daytrade?
