>>ante up 300 bucks a month at this stage (can't possibly trade enough to justify it)<<

You are not alone. The cost structures are such that you either

1) Trade everyday with proper tools

2) Trade on occasion with a serious handicap

3) Invest longer term

The deck seems to be stacked against the working guy. Someone is missing out on a stream of revenue as there are a lot of working guys.

How rigid are the structures? Are the fee structures based on deep seeded market fee structures? Is it intentionally structured to keep the casual investor away from trading? Protectionism? Lack of vision?

If I can make use of real time quotes..level two with all the bells and whistles one day a month why should I have to pay 20 times what it is worth? Vegas would not make any money if you had to rent a room for a month to play for a day.
