    X_trader question

    in your audit trail you can find out how long it took for your order to be entered, executed and returned so that you can see that it has been executed. then you can feign interest in setting up an account at some other broker and ask to speak to their IT department and ask them to show you how...

    Entry signals for scalpers?

    first of all, it would help to know what you are trading in order to give you some indicators that might be helpful. as far as number of trades per day, 100 is more than plenty. if you are seeing so much opportunity that you want to do more than 100, by all means do it. but i find that 100...

    Payout questions

    yeah, they appear to be trying to screw you. point it out to them nicely to make sure it wasnt a mistake by them first and maybe they will fix it. if they dont, quit. thats not honest business.

    Language

    just take spanish, its easy. im pretty sure you will only take the minimum amount of courses neccessary to get your degree (2 semesters prolly) and then bail so why make it harder than it has to be? i feel wall street firms would care if you are fluent in chinese or japanese but not even blink...
