Bottom line, he resisted arrest. Did you see the part in the beginning where he swings his arms and clocks the cop holding him? Cop would have been in his right to put him down, but showed restraint, imo. Now, not defending cops, per se. You have to be on the other side of a drawn cop pistol...

Uh...he was resisting arrest.

I agree. If you read the article, they have a great analogy about Oanda, that they are th ETrade of forex trading. And I think there is a need for this type of firm out there for people who are no where near as experienced as you or I or do the volume we do. But for the little guy who needs the...

News Flash!!! When someone comes on to any forum with little or no posting history and starts singing the praises of XXX firm, you come across as nothing but a shill. If you want to prove us wrong, then stop posting smiley shit and puff pieces about you broker and actually post something of...

Props to a Market Maker: For those who prefer the no-commish model, I noticed this morning that Oanda has .9 spread on the Euro and 1.5 on the cable. For those that don't need to trade volume or news, it's worth a look. Plus, they're financially sound according to recent CFTC reports.

Take the sound off the page. It comes across as a cheesy porn movie. The last thing a prospective member needs to think about concerning prop trading is the perception someone is about to get f'ckd (figuratively that is)

Second time I've heard these guys mentioned here. No webpage. Where are they located?

In Monday's trading, the Dow may go up 200 pts or down 200. But care to guess what will be the major topic of Kudlow's program and who he's going to "chastise"?

Either that or they have shit liquidity. The problem may be that like a lot of commodity based FCM's like ADM and FCStone, they are new entering the currency world and have yet to work out the issues in the forex world. I'm starting to think the best route is to go prime with one of the banks.

Is that a live price on the currenex or demo pricing (demo's tend to have wider spreads than live) Because if it is, Jesus! 4 wide on the Aussie? I can get 1/2 that on Oanda's platform. Looks like they might be manipulating that spread.

Standard rate is $3/100k bcu, but that can be negotiated depending on volume, which can be cheaper than IB's $2/$100k trades.

I think for the most part that is correct. For the most part. Not every bank is a liquidity provider for Knight and FxAll, so the reps comments may not be accurate. Sincere, because he/she says what they were told, but not accurate.

As far as I know there is no centralized clearing for currency other than Fx Marketplace (space?) which is why you need a prime relationship to guarantee payment. Have you tried the retail HotSpot platform directly from Knight? 33% margin is still a good deal when dealing in size. You know...

An explanation of fixed spread (no commission) trading thru a dealing desk vs. commission trading thru an ECN (been discussed here MANY times) A dealing desk broker does not charge a commission but marks up or widens the spread between the bid and ask that a bank is quoting them. Ex...

FXCM? PFG?

Just read the fine print - US checking accounts are for US residents and citizens. Schwab has foreign accounts but w/o the check writing feature. If that's something you really need, you can always incorporate and open any banking account.

I think itrader911 is a shill for one of the companies. Read thru his/her posts and you can see which one.

Can't you already get that with a Schwab One (or another similar type brokerage account - Merrill CMA account)?

This is what happens when you have a forum where anyone (rather, most everyone) can come here and pretend that they are top dog in an industry where the real top dogs wouldn't even bother to take a dump on them. Too many people who post have a very high opinion of themselves. To use an Elite...

This is why the Fed, if it does reduce rates, will not go more than 25 bp. But also look for a coordinated central bank intervention to prop up the dollar, however brief that may be. We haven't had one in a while and we are overdo for a little central bank action.
