Questions-
1- There agreement says that the intial $5k deposit is in fact a "training fee" that is "completely at the discretion of the CeO to return". Has any body gotten there deposit back, in time?
I would like to know the answer tho this too. I have not asked for my deposit back but I feel uneasy about the CEO being the one who makes the call on MY deposit.
You know what I'll do if they don't refund my cash, I'll buy stocks and short with another broker at the same time. Free money transfer!
2- Are they good about issuing the profit checks on time?
Yes.
3- What are there commissions, charges, etc?
Negotiable, .0025 to .0065
4- Can one setup an automatic day total dollar loss for risk management purposes? (E.g. if I lose $500 in a day there software will lock all trading and clear all my positions automatically for the day)
Oh, you don't have to ask for that, it's automatic, believe me they're not doing you any favors.
5- Do you recommend them?
For newbies it is the best deal in town without lockup of your cash. Laser completely and utterly sucks, so you MUST get another charting software. Laser has quick executions though and is programable with excel. No wonder it's free. Did I mention Laser sucks?
Did you sign up? How did it go? Did you find someone better?
