i wouldnt get out until you know for sure if they get busted

I am about to move and am setting up my trading station and internet at my new place. I will connect via one DSL line and one Cable line. As it is now, if my Cable goes out then I switch and connect via DSL - but to reconnect to my vpn and reload my data/quotes takes a while. I lose...

i trade more volume than i should given my style, probably. who doesn't? my bad days i always push to make back losses too hard and often overtrade them, ending the day trading over 250k shares. on a nice clean day, i often trade under 150k shares. my style isn't to trade penny stocks...

yea i think i will say that I've spoken to trader who've said they get $3 commission rates. My guess is they'll tell me they can go down to $5 at the lowest. If that occurs, I guess I'll have to decide if I'm willing to leave the firm for another one with a cheaper rate structure. But then...

thanks for the info. actually, i called Carlin, they used to have an office there but they don't any longer. same story for Bright Trade too, I think. any other firms that you know of in boston?

I'm looking to move to Boston and trade my own money from an office there, but I can't find any firms that have a location in that area. Does anyone know of a trading office in Boston or in the surrounding 100 miles? thanks a lot

I'm an experienced proprietary trader looking to move to Boston. I'd like to trade my own money at a professional firm (ie: Bright Trade, Andover). But I can't find a single office in Boston or the surrounding suburbs, which surprised me because many less populous cities have offices doing...
