    Good point. When and in fact if the account drops to $5,000, that is the shut off point for the loser and make the $5,000 payment to the other party then and there at once.

    Order platforms without "Confirm Order"

    Most borkers/clearing houses don't support Trademaven. Maybe they don't support it because it is very hard to scalp with Trademaven, and that would also consequently be the reason why most scalpers swear by X-trader.

    who would hire an independent trader?

    There is nothing wrong with flipping burgers. I was out there today, and I only had $4.04 on me, and that lady put up the rest of it for a Quater Pounder Value Meal, like around $ 4.85... I mean, there is nothing wrong with burger flippers or flipping burgers or being a cashier at a burger...
