OVERtheLine,
I apologize if you feel slighted by the "daddy" comments, sorry if I struck a nerve.
The sales pitch has changed somewhat...we do not compare ECHO vs our competitors in some "lame" manner that you suggested. All we have to do is let prospective traders talk to the traders in our office and it "sells" itself.
I suspect that is why our office has 16 traders in 5 short months (since opening) with SIX more coming in by July. I am not bragging about any recruiting ability, none is needed.
As far as myself, I take pride in fighting for every fill I am entitled to if it makes a significant difference. Maybe if you were more familiar with listed trading, you would understand that the specialist is NOT your friend.
Why don't you grow a pair and identify yourself and use your real name? I am betting you were one of those ex-protrader guys looking for a free ride that bragged about what a "great" trader you were but when asked to bring in some sheets for proof, you disappeared...
You must be doing very well since you were posting earlier looking for someone in San Diego to split a T-1 line, what do those go for now $600 a month? Is trading that tough for you? If you need a job, we have some traders that could use a "trading assistant" to get coffee.
You will find out that when you come on the attack on one of our guys, we will come out fighting. Why don't you come on down to the office and confront our "protrader kids" in person? I forgot, it is much easier to hide behind some screenname on a message board, but after reading all your previous posts on elitetrader your comments are on par, simple anonymous attacks to stir it up...
What a joke.
