Well, it really depends on what kind of trading you plan on doing. Our remote people are able to do everything our office traders do, are able to use 30 or 50 times equity, engage in our online mentoring programs, use our API with Goldman, use Goldman's liquidity pools, have access to Goldman's short stock pool, etc.
If you're just interested in doing some simple daytrading, then it probably doesn't matter as much.
With today's technology, we are comfortable with our traders from Xiamen China, to Dubai.
