Exchange Agreements
Trade Ideas servers access a lot of data from a variety of sources including the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. These exchanges require us to keep updated records and file accurate annual reports of subscriber information. Trade Ideas is required to verify whether each subscriber is a professional or non-professional trader.
Trade Ideas pays the exchange fees for non-professional subscribers.
Professional traders are required to pay additional fees to NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ.
Do you trade other people’s money or carry special licenses? If not, then you are probably not considered professional.
Here is a link to more information about professional trader status.
