Honestly I could not care less but traderxp has just as much rights to post negative comments as you and excitedtrader have rights to post positive ones.

As far as substance of the posts is concerned, if you guys claim that your rates are better but refuse to provide specific numbers - this is lack of substance to me.

Frankly I find it quite suspicious that he is not "allowed" to post his rates here. Not allowed by whom, not allowed for what reason. All of your competitors posted or had their rates posted one way or another. Read hitman's journal, DB related threads, all rates are openly discussed. If you beat your competitors' rates as you guys claim - it is just good business to post them everywhere, it just does not make sense that it is not allowed, unless they not that good after all.

Rates that are given to our guys are confidential because every trader, depending on skill has a different rate schedule. Most prop firms aren't clear cut as an E-Trade or Datek. It all depends on volume. Plus I have asked our traders not to post, cause it will be construed as advertising, which is not allowed.

If the intention of a poster to post negaive comments is intended to disrupt a board, it should not be allowed. This is why I told both traderxp and hctrader to take a chill pill.

I know I have no credibility, but their have been several posts on this firm. I tried to get explanations from the negative posters, but none replied with one.

I just recently passed my exams, thank god, and started working with them. So far they have delivered on all their promises for training. The systems are also very reliable, but I can't compare them to other firms.

The rates they gave me were very competitive to the other firms I interviewed with, and they paid for my exams, NICE!!!

The two trainers still trade, and make money. They spend alot of time with me after hours going over my trades, which is very helpful. The other traders are really nice and very helpful. They try and keep the environment pleasant.

Just wanted to post my opinion.

Are you saying that this is not advertisement, his description of quality of the system is not advertisement, mentioning of the fee paid exams is not advertisement, saying how "competitive" the rates are is not advertisement, but providing numbers would be construed as advertisement.

Hundreds of prop traders working for dozens of prop firms posted their rates here on ET and never has it been prohibited by their companies, nor has it ever been construed as advertisement by anybody.

It is your and Excited's right not to provide rates. As I said before personally I find it quite suspicios.

Unless he's a moron, I can't imagine he came to us cause our rates are higher. We have a strict rule that commission are not to be discussed.

Plus what is their to hide? If you come in, and I give you a rate, and you don't like it, you don't accept. Simple. It's not like we bring in traders, and not tell them what the rates, and trick them. That's the beauty of prop, you go where you want to, you're in control, most of the time.

I already had a discussion with excited about his post. He seemed to be excited, hehe get it, and wanted to let everyone know. I'll be perfectly fine with Elite removing this forum.

I don't want to get into a back and forth with you so let's just drop it.
