Well I'm gonna have to eat crow on this one. Sammyg2 and Ty are right, for the most part. There were three or four companies I would do business with, the rest have "interesting products or services" to say the least.

CyberTrader's software is impressive but it's expensive. It's free if you do 40 trades or 200 options/futures contracts per month. Otherwise it's $140/mo. Their commission structure is pretty good at $9.95 + $1 per contract though. Their premium software package offers all the services I would need without having to alt tab between different windows to retrieve information. But again it's expensive for the non-day trader.

Options University offers pretty comprehensive investor education packages at reasonable prices. Too bad I didn't find out about these guys last year. Could've kept my losses low.

It was a worthwhile trip. Got to network with a few seasoned traders. I think I'll keep my day job and continue to place/set up my trades in the evenings.
