para.. i agree with you, its a option for the pro trader, their a well-established, reputable firm, that offer the tools most traders can use depending on your style, their comm is higher for sure, but they offer what few do in this industry with flex leverage to trade different strategies, which is a plus.. as long as your money is safe & they pay you with no problems, peace of mind goes a long way in my book, we may not agree with don's opinions on what he feels is best, we all have our opinions, they been doing this for many years, their model works for many, they have a good reputation & any deal that a trader agrees to in joining a firm is business. their going to be around for years to come regardless of the higher comm, their are always traders willing to pay a premium to potentially earn more $ using high leverage. thats why brights model never changed , they get their fees, comm. its their their edge, imo.. not a bright trader, but feel they offer a good option for traders.. besides they have 10 mil of their own $ up to protect traders, as stated many times.
