Quote from The Bishop:
a deposit IS NOT a traing fee - a deposit you get back whereas a training fee you do not.
And in the case of T3, they explicitly say before you put up any money to "learn" their way of trading that there is no guarantee that they will ask you to trade with them. They have a good rep and all, but when I was told that, I passed.
I just wanted to note...You made it sound like it was 'free' to get in, when there is a training fee. I don't think that was always the case either, but I had the same situation you had with them and feel the same way.
