    Not in writing on the pages we read: consistency rule. Ask the firm before you pay.

    What this can't show: whether any one trader got paid. We don't collect traders' payout reports, so weigh reviews elsewhere with care. The count is mechanical, not a recommendation.

    How many Shark Futures accounts can I have?
