Moderate MB Trading is surely worth a look. Also check out ATG Marketplex. They have Currenex, Hotspot ECN and Integral going into MT4. The required account minimums are 50K for this level. I have attached a screenshot from my platform.

Trader KGB Its aarontrade.com Has nothing to do with Collective. From my understanding under the FSA in Europe IBs don't have to be registered. Unlike the NFA. I moved my business out of the US a number of months ago.

Thanks for the feedback Wallace!

You can't just pay attention to the spreads and commission. You have to also pay attention to the depth of the book. For example, if you have a spread that is o.4 pips wide but only 200K is available at that price and the next 300K is available at 1.5 pips wide you may be doing yourself an...

Thanks Meth. That is what I was looking for.

Back a while ago I recall seeing a screenshot in a post about Meta Quotes. It was kind of the like the "smoking guy" in that the screenshot was taken of a document from MetaQuotes and it talked about the nice little dealing options - delayed execution, stop running etc. I tried the search...

All fx brokers are counterparty. It doesn't mean they are a dealing desk. For example, lets say a broker provides a platform of best bid / best offer liqudity of 6 banks. When you trade you are hitting the bank's bid or offer. However, the broker is counterparty your transaction and...

It is an OTC clearing entity. However, it also servers as a matching engine for some markets not all thought. But the markets are thin.

All hedging seemed to accomplish was to give bucket shops the ability to double roll people and steal more money.
