When is EchoTrade coming to Seattle?

We are in the process of locating a suitable location for an office, input welcome by PM.

Thanks.

That they're always trying to make it better, to me, is just another promise for the future. I assume all dev teams (RT3, Cyber, TS6, IB, etc.) are trying to make their software "better", so that's no selling point.

But the fact that you've grown to like it more than RT3 is very interesting to me. Could you please list out the things about the Sterling software you like better? Thanks.

There is almost a new update EVERY week lately. If we request something within a month or 2 we find it. Someone on our broker rating's page complain about no daily charts..............well that was over 10 updates ago. Charts were only a week old when he made that post. (we were using other programs for charts but love the execution quality of the software)

Thanks Robert. Actually, I had checked the web site but I should have worded my question differently. The commission info is clear on the site, but I was looking for things like capital required vs margin levels etc...

I'm at the exploratory stage for this and it might well be 6 months or more before I make a decision. However, I'd be looking to trade remote, so I probably would not enter into the equation of people commited to an office.

I have seen a thread about sponsorship for the serie 7 exam on ET, but I'd like to know how it works exactly, ie what kind of commitment has to be made by the sponsoree (if that term is correct) towards the sponsor firm.

Thanks again for the follow-up

Elvis.

Pay for exam......and than take exam is the requirement.
That's it.

On capital contribution well minimum is $10,000 and than just 5 to 1 leverage is given. With some expereince and the firm understanding your risk /trading style more will be given if they feel it is in everyone's interest.

With more capital more leverage is given. It really depends on the trader and their style of trading.

Thanks for the info Robert. Got a high-paying job right now so it makes sense to stay retail (I can trade from work discreetly, and before work from home 'cause I'm on the West Coast), but come the next in-between jobs dip (and they always come) I'll be looking at all this seriously.

Seattle is a very nice city, but to wet for me. How about a Echotrade office in the land of Texas Techies. I'm ready when any other 4 traders are ready! Austin is the "diamond in the rough" of Texas. :D
 
Since we have been in Seattle for 3 years now (I will admit that we only have a few traders there since many left to trade in our Vancouver office when our manager opened that up), if there really are any new people who want to get involved feel free to give me a call.

As many of you know, the basics are the same with our friends at Echo, and yet you may find some of the differences of value to your decision making.

Think you'll be surprised how many traders show up at the door on opening day!
