I think these are some relevant questions that have purposely not been answered. Can someone at TsT please answer.
Quote from traderCND:
Why answer the same question over and over again by phone when you can just answer once here:
1. Who owns TopStepTrader? If you will not disclose their names please state why there is such secrecy.
2. Why do you hold yourself out as a CME Member Firm when the rules say you are not allowed to?
3. I assumed that you marked up trades because many people have stated that they can get better rates at Interactive Brokers....I guess I shouldn't have assumed. Can you please post a pdf of your billing from your clearing firm so we can see that there are no mark-ups. I definitely understand you are under no obligation to do this because potential traders wouldn't fall under the requirement that you need to if asked.
