If he can wait 10 yrs, no problem.

EBS is the largest liquidity platform out there used by traders in over 40 countries. Liquidity is around 150B a day. It is hands down the one that banks use. http://www.icap.com/markets/foreign-exchange/icap-fx-spot.html As to why anyone would want to use institutional, I want to trade...

Keep in mind tho that while HotSpotFXi is a great platform, you can't open an account directly with them for less than a few mil. There are other players that will offer the platform w/o the large cap contribution. Also, if you are going on to the institutional platforms, your buying...

Second that. Also with vCap, you have the ability to trade different platforms simultaneously, i.e. open a trade on EBS, close it on, say, FxAll.

I thought use of TT was licensed by the broker your trade with (Global), not who they clear with (Penson). As a clearing firm, they shouldn't care which platform you use as long as it interfaces with their systems. It's the broker who licenses it and "sells" it to the trader. Am I wrong on this...

Yes. Monthly fees run around 1500-2K/mth, but that can be negotiated. Esp if you trade with them. They have many guys there doing their own thing as well. [/b] They use Anvil and Lightspeed, and last I checked neither one charged a platform fee Like I said, they got a lot of guys trading...

Having read thru this thread, I want to say to the OP to just live a bit. Christ, you're 21, just out of college. Enjoy it for a while. If you intend on staying in this industry for 20+ years or so, the money will be there. Have some fun. Then you will be better focused at your job and become...

There are numerous guys from NY posting in various cities on CL looking for traders. They're just trying to solicit business. Epiphany does it (just saw their ad yesterday in Atlanta section) Avatar (in about a dozen markets) and of course, the ubiquitous VCM/HLV, altho they don't actualy say...

never mind. Went to the NYSE page and saw it was some other short bald guy. Gotta get my glasses fixed or spend less time in front of these computers.

Was that DicK Grasso up on the bell platform this morning ringing the bell? I just saw a little bald guy who looks a lot like him, and I would be surprised if it actually was. Did anyone else notice it?

You only need to do this once and you get jammed. Originally I was told that if you change your wire instructions more than once a month, you get flagged, but now if you make ANY changes to your account (add Mr to your name as an outrageous example) you get flagged and have to confirm thru their...

Is there anyone with a MySpace page that doesn't come across as a jag-off?

Whatever your size means $5MM to $5B. They are not for small guys.

Does anyone use IB Prime services? What are the requirements? Is it easier to set up than, say, prime at Goldman?
