re: Swift Trade's commissions:
I haven't talked to them. But you can be sure the rate quoted is U.S. funds. You would be trading U.S. stocks, in U.S. funds. I can't see how they would not charge in U.S. currency. Every other Soes company charges in U.S. $$ (in office or remote)
I'm just wondering if they have a minimum or "seat" fee for in office trading. $.025/share is a bit high by industry standards. Broadway Trading is currently $.02/share (or perhaps negotiable lower if you do enough turns.)
Would be interesting to hear from some of the Swift Trade users. I hear their training sessions ($1,500) are booked up until September. I'm sure they'll start turning up here soon enough...
Did somebody say 2nd location ????

P.S. Does anybody know anything about the two guys running the place, Charles Kim, Peter Beck. (background, experience, etc.)? All I know is that they had better have some super-traders trading out of their offices- showing people the ropes, and keep spirits up. These offices usually don't last unless there is at least one big money player showing people how it's done.
