35% is for the newbs. I start at 45% each month (and work up to 55%)... it's not the best deal (especially for lower volume guys) but I've always been paid on time and for the correct amount. besides I have no per share commissions. zero. and pay just over 16 cents per trade. which...

They're trading the US markets and/or the LSE... Why not in the US? Probably because there's lots of competition in the US... Plus in countires where the cost of living is extremely low branch owners can offer a much lower profit split to the traders and bank a lot more cash. mnx

I haven't lost any studies when flipping stocks... I'm so cheap I got my charts from yahoo... it's like 100 bux per year..... but I don't really use them anyways. I find charts only to be a useful distraction when I'm bored..... mnx

arca market has great fills in cinci and bosx... mwse is a joke... try the arca routed bid / arca routed offer guys... they are way better than using a market order... arca routed bid/offer is great for nasdaq also... esp. when arca has the bulk of shares... mnx

quick question... what is GSAT? mnx

20 seconds is nothing... I've had nyse specialists hang on to my orders for over 5 minutes before filling or quoting them... mnx
