I believe I was the first here to say I would try them out. I finally got some time today to read the thread after the market close today so here are my findings...
1. The transfer and setup on the software took about 3 days to be completed. I am not sure how they were able to transfer so quickly from another firm to them because usually that takes longer than a wire. I think it was because they do have some deal with SpeedTrader. Otherwise how are they able to offer the same package as RealFast, SpeedTrader and Alldaytrader.
2. As I mentioned before, I was using the same software through SpeedTrader. I didn't notice a difference in the software performance. In fact I didn't have to install a new software.
3. They sent me an e-mail with my username and password and I was able to start trading that day.
4. I notice that the software does not show overnight buying power. But when I called the support desk, Karen told me that even though it doesn't load it, I still have it. Their system doesn't load overnight buying power to the software but I just needed to divide my daytrading buying power by 2 and never go over that amount at the end of the day. I actually only held a position once overnight but I sold it the next day. The buying power on that trade was not updated. I had the same buying power that I started the day with. I sent them an internal message in the software, and they responded that it will be updated tomorrow and that buying power is not release for overnight position until the next day. But I am still able to trade with what I have. So I haven't been holding overnight positions because I want to use the full buying power. But that was the same as when I was at Speedtrader. The difference is that I can trade as many times as I want during the day and I still have the same buying power I started the day with. Speedtrader would take away my buying power so I would only daytrade 3 days out of the week. That is why I switched.
It is still really too soon to tell whether they are better than my last firm but so far I am pretty satisfied with how things are going.
I would suggest that if anyone still have doubts about whether they are legit, then perhaps you should take a trip down to Jamaica and check out their operation and bring me back a Red Stripe. I hear it is pretty good if you like beer.
