Disassociate means that I will no longer be working with VanKar and will be working with a new company named Stage 5 Trading that is being built using the values and goals that Anthony and I want for the industry. We will be in full control of how we move forward and will be fully focused on fulfilling our vision as stated above. Right now, we are distracted by many things relating the current brokerage we are with. We don't want that anymore.

Under Stage 5, the benefits are greater for the reason mentioned here. More control, higher ability to execute our plan. We can put resources back into building the business rather than to pay another partner. This is an overall benefit to the traders.

Yes, it does matter. My experience is that brokerages are not all the same. In fact, I don't like how brokerages are run AT ALL. I look forward to fulfilling every part of our vision and goals. It is time that the futures industry put the trader first.

Cheers!

Good luck with Stage 5!

Is there a time frame for this? Just curious as to what I got myself into as a new customer.

Stage 5 Trading Corp is now{corrected} operational. The transition of all clients out of VanKar went very smoothly. We are working on completing the website. Most of my time goes into supporting clients and our exclusive chat room.

I am no longer associated with VanKar Trading. If you need to contact the new brokerage, please go to Stage 5 - Home .

Cheers!

Meant to say "Stage 5 Trading Corp is now operational." Sorry about the typo above.

Wrong thread. This is for VanKar not Stage 5.
