As I indicated in my prior post:

I believe you must meet three requirements before you can trade or be recruited there and they as follows:

1: you have to have some money to put down
2: You have to be breathing
3: You have to have a few fingers to be able press the buy or sell keys.

Requirement # 3 can be negotiated depending on how much of requirement # 1 you have.
 
Lies? What lies?

Every single trader we hire is told straight-up what is offered and what is not, and with the fact that we are one of the few firms that requires little to no capital contribution, what is there to complain about?

I mean, you know what you are getting into before you start, you get what you put into it, it may not be the most lucractive opportunity there is but I can tell you it is fair and square.
 
I dont have a physics degree or any Phd's :(

BUT I am pretty good at chess
And I am sort of the Warren Buffet of Madden and Tekken

You guys think I would I qualify????

PEEEEEACE and good trading,
Commisso
 
I'm sorry Requirement # 2 can be negotiated with the amount of Requirement # 1 you put down. Thanks for the correction Rigel.

Hitman have you tried out for the Worlco cheerleading squad. I understand those Pom Poms are adorable.
 
I wonder if this will cause Protrader1 to start taking out adds in the NY Times right next to the Worldco ads ?

:cool:
