Question about SwiftTrade/joining cautiously

[lorneg]

Yes I know there are but this one is unique. My branch will be charging 200$ for desk space per month. + the 150$ to start. Is it worth it? Serious question.

Do other branches do this or are they trying to ... me?

I'm a new trader, 3 months at home. I NEED a mentor and that's why I'm trying to join up but I'm also a 3rd year accounting student at university and can hardly afford this, first month I'd have to pay up front as well and the rest will come from my income, if I receive any.

When I was there a number of years ago, it was 200 a month. Training was 400.

It's more only, WFT does that mean = nothing.
I cant drink beer in the street here. Does it mean it is bad? Maybe not, It's legal somewhere else.

to the original poster :

I'd stay away. there are better firms out there whee u can join and learn for free.
as u mentioned, u can hardly afford to pay them the 350$ a month. chances are u will get tired of paying them before u see a penny. be patient, look for better deals and good luck.

cheers
