Anyone know which FCM/RFED(s) they're clearing their Currenex and Integral feeds thru?

Anybody With FastBrokers?

Not really sure why they have a NY HQ when they're not regulated in the US. I'm pretty sure that's just a front, as all other signs point to them being based out of Israel. Also, if you look up the names of their executive staff & broker employees ...

An FX Broker that pays for LIMIT orders?

Yet they consistently post the highest trader profitability figures quarter after quarter. How do you explain that?

Technically you can. I've paid nothing but futures taxation on forex trades (60/40 LT/ST cap gains, max 23%) for many years. Electing trader status classification by the IRS has certain advantages (401k self-funding & pre-tax healthcare spending), ...

Capital gains as primary income tax rate in the US?

Justin, Any idea why the Free EXN has across the board better spreads on the JPY crosses than your standard Pay for Limits feed? Over a pip differential at times.. (before commissions are taken into account as well)

Granted this is a low liquidity, multi-country bank holiday, but I am shocked at the number of firms that didn't open at the standard 1700 ET Sunday opening. FXCM (and ATC), InterbankFX, Forex.com, FXDD, etc all closed at this moment, 7 hours after ...
