yes, but I was also part owner of the office that was leaving. I was also a lawyer so I reviewed my documents and made sure I wasn't breaching any of my obligations. You should review your contract and try not to breach any of the obligations. Eventually, if you are contractually tied down you should seek a lawyer, there could be lots of things to consider, including whether you were backed and trained in exchange for your commitment vs whether you have a right to not be an indentured servant. If you do have obligations in the end it will all come down to money because they really can not force you to make trades or sit in their office.
What I find really interesting is that I am currently aware of some interesting information, that I have been asked not to reveal, but the same person may be holding you down that once wanted to hold me down. However, my situation was actually pretty clear cut and the person on the other person in the end did remain very business like.
