I take you are not in an Ivy school? Even Ivy school MBA types need a lot of juice and ass kissing to get on a trading desks. You can do it if you are a computer savvy MBA and don't mind getting coffee a lot of service of you boss. At any rate not too many will do that, plus you learn NO...

I like IB however in commodities you still better to get open outcry access and be able to call in/email an order. Spreads trading is the only way to go with commodities.

I guess you never heard of Keno, Let it ride or 3-card poker then? 3-card poker the win on a 3 of a kind is 30:1 40:1 on a straight flush...

The name that is coming up consistently is Scottrade as a leader. others are Ameritrade, Schwab(lowered comissions lately) the problem that these funds still cost to trade $17 each time so a $2500 $17/$2500=0.0068 and there is a fund management fee to consider even if it is hidden.....be the...

folks, the people who work on possible mergers and acquisitions and people who focus on TWS software ARE not the same, they are not even in the same universe...
