    I'm a former broker that has decided to trade for myself rather than put up with all the crap that comes with being in the business. I'm licensed since 2000 with series 3,7 and 63 but not registered with any particular firm at the moment. I've been trading since about 96' and have always loved the action of the markets. Newly married and just recently moved from northeast Ohio to nothern Virginia, so far so good on both counts. I work evenings and plan on trading during the day, hopfully I can still do it well enough to take it full time.

    Have any of you ever traded with IGmarkets? what is your opinion of the firm? Also for prop trading who would you like better for all around markets products Bright or Echo? I may go this route rather than a retail firm like IG, any thoughts? The problem with prop.might be that I'm not full time yet. I plan on making some phone calls this week to these firms.Thanks much for any feedback.Tom.

    Great post for the beginning trader. Real world education is always the best lesson learned.

    Hi all, I'm new to TL but not new to trading, just been away from it for a while,I'm looking for some feedback as to brokers. I'm licensed 7,3 and 63 but have decided to trade for myself and leave the retail behind. What I would like to know is if you have any HONEST brokers you could recommend? I am looking to trade mini metals and other mini comos along with maybe some forex, the problem I have is I've been playing with IG markets demo along with others and the system freezes with charts and quotes for short times which leads me to believe they are adjusting their positions at the DD accordingly against client positions. I'm hoping someone can recomend a fair broker with low initial opening say less than $2k. I already do my stocks with scottrade and am happy with them. I've been out of trading for about three years. Thanks in advance for any opinions offered.
