DO I HAVE TO BE SERIES 7 LICENSED TO OPEN A SUB-CONTRACTOR ACCOUNT?
 
NO.  Sub-contractor accounts utilize limited trading authorizations to enable both licensed and non-licensed individuals to trade on accounts.  If you are licensed and would like to maintain your licensing by trading directly via one of the registered broker dealers used by our private capital affiliates, please contact a WTC representative at 866.473.5069 or email us at info@worldwidetradingcapital.com.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SUB-CONTRACTOR ACCOUNTS AND ONLINE TRADING ACCOUNTS?
 

Sub-contractor accounts differ in several ways from either of the above online account types.  When you open a sub-contractor account, you are actually working as an independent contractor for one of our affiliate private capital firms.  These firms are private, non-licensed organizations and thus do not require you to maintain any securities licensing.  Your capital is deposited with these firms and then journaled into a trading account owned by the private capital groups.  Just as with the online accounts detailed above, these accounts are housed with NASD registered broker-dealer and all funds are SIPC insured. 

However, unlike retail accounts, you are in essence using supplemental capital provided by the capital group's to leverage your own equity and receive full daytrading permissions and a minimum of 10:1 equivalent intraday leverage and 4:1 overnight leverage for trading of all marginable NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX stocks and are able to open an account with as little as $5,000.

For more details on the comparisons and advantages of sub-contractor trading v.s. standard online trading, please click here or contact a WTC client representative at 1-866-473-5069.
