Charles Schwab and FXCM as a match would be like Tim Tebow marrying Kim Kardashian, two complete opposites. If you are a competitor of FXCM you are hoping this is true. Schwab's legal (who really runs the firm) will make so many decisions adversely impacting FXCM's business it will go the way of...

If the Pats are going to try to introduce physics, how about some good old statistics. Look at these numbers on fumbles. Magically the year after Brady lobbied for the teams to be able to prepare their own footballs the Patriots stop fumbling. Their stats are so far outside of the bell curve it...

After I listened to Brady's interview about deflate-gate, I have to ask, was the man arrested Tom Brady. He sure seems to be smoking something.

I personally don't see how any IB will survive the next 7-10 years unless they add real consulting (trade or hedge) value. Just my opinion as I view most of them as middlemen collecting a vig.

This is great. No matter what, Brady and Bellichick look guilty. Sure they may have not done it themselves but there is no way they did not know. The cover-up is always worse than the crime. The Pats have a track record of cheating, isn't that enough. I am so happy whatever little legacy Brady...

For some IBs you are certainly correct. I guess in 2015 it just seems like the middleman is out. Amazon does not have introducing brokers they are the direct selling agent. You go to BestBuy or their website. Everything is direct to the producer online. Why is the futures brokerage world stuck...

This is from the Gain/FuturesOnline/OpenECry/OEC website (so it looks like they offer iceberg): "OEC Trader offers multiple advanced order options (MOC, MOO, Iceberg) and algorithmic orders (time slice, enhanced time slice, time activation, auto cancel) in addition to position reversing and...

Wisdom is a solid firm and seem to have a good reputation in the industry. I guess my question would be why do you need an introducing broker? This is just an extra layer of cost for no reason. Why not just go direct to the FCM to eliminate unnecessary layers and cost. If you want to be with...

This is the problem with the industry. Firms like AMP and Ninja (I will probably be banned for saying something negative about a sponsor) who offer $500 or less margins are doing it for one reason. That reason is very simple to get you to trade more. If you have $10,000 in your account at IB...

I don't recall my post naming any names. But if the firm is a dealing desk then yes forgiving a client debit frees up firm capital on the balance sheet.

FXCM's debit was the beginning of the end - http://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/SpeechesTestimony/bowenstatement012115

OddTrader is exactly right. The A/B book issue is real. Think about it, if you have the other side of the trade you want your client to lose. You want them to blow a hole in their face, why, so you keep their money. That is the game. They lose you win. So if you give someone a slingshot they are...

Let's not confuse these actions by forex brokers of forgiving negative balances as helping the little guy. Think about it. If you run an unmatched book (i.e. you trade against your client) the trades basically go nowhere and are held on your firms books. So in simple terms, a client loses...

Sorry, first post did not have a score Seahawks 23 - Pats 21*. *Past performance is not indicative of future results. Gambling on football could result in the loss of all your capital.

Seahawks.

Give me the microphone first so I can bust like a bubble Snopp and Andreesen together,now you know you in trouble...

Q#1 - Blount is not as good as he looked yesterday. Q#2 - Late in Q4 with the Pats up 45 - 7, Brady dropped back and threw it deep. Someone rolled up on his legs and came very close to a serious leg injury. I would have laughed at Bellichick if that happened. Not that I want to see an injury...

Wow. Wow. Wow. If you are a Packer fan this is as bad as it gets. Up 16-0 at half. Up 12 with the ball with 5 minutes to play. You have to try hard to lose this, and they did. I am happy to see Seahawks go again. As long as Brady does not win another, which I doubt unless they cheat. They are...

Why would you not get the bullet proof glass?
