They steal in one word...
They steal in one word. Pointless cuts. They get high commissions. This is acceptable. But even if you don't trade, they charge you $20-$30 every day. It doesn't matter if it is a weekend. They cut it on Monday, cut it on Wednesday, cut it on Sunday, it doesn't matter for them.

At first when I began trading last year with this company everything went smoothly. There was an employee named Ian who was reliable and professional who I would contact for any issues that arose. Once he left, around the end of last year (2019), this company slowly began to show its true colors. For months Stage5 charting had glitches from data freezes, chart activity not matching pricing, total chart freezes and on. As volatility has picked up, Stage5 has continuously raised margin pricing to the latest requiring a minimum of $1320.00 to trade one $5.00 micro ES contract. The fees on this trade, in and out, come to eighty cents, leaving a $4.20 profit on a $5.00 trade. And if you want to trade after hours or before market open, only one ES contract is allowed during these time periods. As far as trading one mini ES $50 contract, that now requires a minimum of $3300. The pricing of Stage5 is beyond any other company I've called. As far as customer service, the few employees that seem to run this company have a generally impatient, condescending attitude. Phone calls are unreturned, emails unanswered. After checking around I realized I need to run from this company that is clearly taking advantage of traders during this volatile time by upping the margin requirements beyond anything that is professionally acceptable. Day trading is difficult enough; you don't have to put up with a firm that, while taking your money, acts as if they're doing you a big favor. Do your homework - check around. And skip Stage5.
