As an aside, please note that Livevol does not, at the present time, offer trading capabilities for any...

    Greetings, I received this TradeStation message today. The new stand-alone TS Fx platform rolls out in a week. Should be interesting to see what the platform looks like (i.e. a duplicate of 9.0 or something close), spreads (it's not commissioned based), etc. Their relationship with GAIN Capital...
