    Some Swift Questions

    The traders don't fund the accounts, Swift does. So no, you're not required to deposit any cash. And yes, if you finish a month negative, then you start from that deficit position the next month, and have to bring the account back to black before you get paid. -Matt

    Two streamers side by side

    I can suggest a few ways, but they are just brainstorming: source of each company's quotes for the streamer (direct or reseller)? number of hops from their source(s) to you? any level of processing done on your local box for one streamer over another? quality of processing power on...
