You have to look at the name of the sight - it gives you an idea what the focus is. After all, the sight is not called "ForexGoodPeople"

Good luck with your search then. You pretty much already have the answers.

You cannot be employed in this country without an H-1B visa, which authorizes the holder for employment. The US has become rather strict about having the necessay paperwork for a company's workers. So unless you plan on applying for this visa thru the your US consulate, then you cannot be hired.

Don't ban him. but flag his spam if he posts info about his firm again. He is not paying for advertising so he shouldn't have that privilege. Also, if you ban him, people like digitizer can't discuss with the rest of us what a crap broker they appear to be. Without this discussion, other...

They advertise no requotes and WYSIWYG, but, they will requote you. Just about every MM will requote you - they have to offset the position you are trying to create, and by requoting, their trading desk (the other side of your trade) has a chance to setup the position. Most positions with size...

forexbastards is not the gospel. Granted, it helps, but look at the name it is bound to have more negative than positive. As to Man and Fimat not being there, well, they are professional firms, not some fly by night crap shops. What do you want to do? A trader trying to make a living? Or just a...

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Accord the previous identity of Assent LLC (a division of Sunguard) and Jasper Capital was a group of Assent based in NYC?

Most trading firms, that is the big boys (Goldman, Fimat, UBS, etc.) are hiring computer and math people for their trading departments, not to be active traders, per se, but to put their math/compsci degrees to use to develop systems. More and more trading is being done thru computer programs...

In relation to what? Best spreads? Anyone but FXCM. Depth of market? They all use the same liquidity providers so there is no edge there. Reputations? Look at their white label partners to get an idea of the providers and base your decision on the parent. Of the listing, I would lean toward Man...

ECN API's: FxAll, Currenex, MB Trading, Redi Plus, Fimat, Soc Gen. Easy to find if you take the time to look. Information brought to you by: Pre-Chew Charlies

Hands down, IB. While the spreads will widen, as they would on any other ECN, they are very temporary and above all, the platform doesn't lock you out. The problem with Oanda, from my experience, is that their system will lock you out around news times, for up to an hour. Most news events effect...

Trading NFP is going to get you killed whether you trade MM, or ECN, or even on the EBS system. If the liquidity is not there, you are not going to get filled. I have found I do better trading the news after the initial bounce, which is usually about 15 minutes from NFP news announcement.

Yeah, I use them for spot and to leverage futures positions. Yes, the platform is quirky; they are late coming to the forex table, so to speak, and they are still trying to give us a respectable front end for trading. And yes, position reporting is something they have acknowledged and are still...

IB is one of the firms I use. It's cheap and efficient. My only complaint is on the crosses. For that I use HotSpotFx. (Disclaimer: I am in no way recommending either of these firms, they are just the 2 I use and am comfortable with. Many others will find that trading thru a Currenex platform...

IBFX, as in Interbank FX? Oh, don't get me started!

atticus, I believe you have the right idea trading thru JPM as the majority of your trading. Personally, I have gone thru many a broker until I have found someone I am comfortable with, and it took took many times being locked out of Oanda, a fan favorite on many forums, to push me off using...

Net excess capital on 4/2007 was 54M (FXCM) to 10M (Oanda) or 5.4 times, which falls within the 5-10x loose estimate. But still, I don't know why you guys choose to trade thru Market Maker bucket shops. There are more than enough ECN's out there that give you better access to the markets. MM...
