Yes.

Oanda spreads go back to normal @ _____ GMT

Improved interestrate spreads: real soon now, really! (6 months ago) New platform: any second now, promise! (supposedly october 07) EUR accounts: just around the corner, honestly! (since like half a year)

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Scott: I just went over the documents form their new site again (eu.hotspotfx.com). They explicitly state on their websites FAQ and on their 'Best execution statement' (as required by the EU Mifid-directive) that they strictly do not trade against ...

Spot-trader: An MT4 ECN broker?

Exactly - in the case of bancruptcy the court will decide who gets what - seggregated or not. However, in the case of UK-based firms, FSCS - url - may be able to pay compensation.

FXLQ Shut down temporarily by NFA

coda: CFD marketmakers operate pretty much like FX marketmakers. They take on customer positions in i.e. an index, and offset their risk in the futures market (like a FX marketmaker offsets their exposure with their liquidity providers). Same game ...

MT4 Brokers offering indices

What exactly are you trying to do? I use eSignal + Neoticker. It basically does everything i could imagine along those lines, and what it doesnt do, you can program yourself either in NT's proprietary formula language or the programming language of ...

Charting for intermarket relationships

Is that your assumption or actually confirmed? I strongly doubt that they hold against customer positions themselfs. If they would do that, they would be subject to a concentration charge in the NFA numbers, but they always had only the 1 mio. ...

Spot-trader: An MT4 ECN broker?

Chop: have a look at buttontrader or zeroline trader. I am not entirely sure they are good for FX, but they are excellent IB-frontends for futures.

Interactive Brokers - experiences and opinions

How Bucketstop shops operate

You have to read the fineprint there. Many brokers in England include a "Non-Segregation of Funds Notice" in their customer agreement. For example Alpari or CMC. It doesnt really sound that much better. It reads like this: 10. Non-Segregation of ...

FXLQ Shut down temporarily by NFA

As far as i know ODL and Alpari only take customers with their UK entities and thus only have to meet FSA standards. You might want to check if those 2 arent just NFA members without any clients under NFA jurisdiction.

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

crez: open a watchlist window, add the pairs you are interested in, add collumns 'buy prem.' and 'sell prem.' Id also dispute that they merely pass along the rolls they get from the banks. As they write on their own website, high volume traders can ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I had an account ~2 years ago with them, but i didnt like the way they handled stop orders. What they did was, when i was in a position and entered a stoploss-order, they would place the stop-order on the single-bank platform of the bank that was ...

New Hotspot client-platform

If it has to be a 'big name', ABN Amro, UBS and RBS have retail platforms now too. Apparently Citi has something in the making too.

dbFX Deutsche Bank

None, other than ISE and USFE are competitors to CME.

US Futures Exchange

I think its a quite serious allegation (the NFA fines misleading sales tactics if i am not mistaken, and also can result in a nasty entry on the publically accessible NFA-records). The least the poster could do is provide the details J.LeBlang asked ...

MB Trading

Look at the marketdata statistics on the USFE site. They are totally illiquid. Use Globex if you want to trade futures. ISE/Finex contracts are too illiquid too. Eurex US (now USFE, since Eurex sold it to MAN) was a failure from the start. MAN ...

US Futures Exchange

Thats a pretty steep stunt, if it really turns out that the bond is non-existant. But it also shows that your net-cap figures cant be the only criteria on how to choose a firm. Its just as important that the firm is well established and operative ...
