Quote from Nana Trader:
What the need you had to reveal yourself to them in such
way. Do they get counted?
Not anymore. It was just a little bit of trivial reminiscing I suppose. Kind of a way to support that I was an early customer. I'm really just elaborating on the point that I've been with them for quite a while.
Back when they first started retail, the accounts were sequential. I didn't know this until I met several of the IB reps at the Online Traders Expo in Anaheim back in 1998. One of them asked me my account number, then told me the story. By that summer, they were already well into the tens of thousands of accounts. Of course, that was the heyday...
My latest account, of course, is a universal account. The number is in the hundreds of thousands. But I'm not sure that has any sequential significance any longer.
