    Cnbc And Cramer Have Gone Too Far

    You know he would have been a great fit for those loons over at FBN. Him and Cody could hang out in that bar all day. He is such an embarrassment to this field. But there are a few other jackasses on that channel as well that need to go.

    Which Forex Brokerage Firm?

    They "seem" like nothing more than another bucket shop in a jurisdiction where you would have no recourse. Cyprus, Tortola? Backed by mega conglomorate but we won't name them? No commission but we rebate you if you do volume? 3 wide on the Euro and Yen? There are much better alternatives...

    RBC Prop Trading Group

    Look at it this way, if he catches the ECN fees as well as the commission, then he's looking at almost .02 per side. He'd need to make 5 cents a round turn just to make a penny. plus they take 40% of it.

    RBC Prop Trading Group

    Wow. .015/share is AWFULLY high even if it is someone else's money you are trading with. It appears they don't want you to make a living but to just churn it and make commission.

    Deutsche Bank -dbfx- the Forex broker to blow the competition?

    Refco. Not saying that DB is another Refco (far from it) but who thought when they set up their fx trading accounts with Refco (coincidentally the same platform DB now uses for its retail fx operations) that most of their money would be lost. Many chose Refco over FXCM because they thought...

    Vista or XP?

    Mav, Since as a business owner, I assume (maybe) that you have a corp license for your XP on your systems? If so, go with the Vista. Take it for a run. If it is not what you want, you can always load up your (legitimate) copy of XP on to your system. As a corp license, you are allowed to...

    Barclays coming on board as well

    barx is the clearing arm of Barclays. I think the products listed on that page is for institutional trading only - I don't believe that Barclays offers retail currency trading for the masses, yet. Like surdo says, they have been around for a while and are one of the top liquidity providers in...

    Actually they have. In the past month they have increased minimum account requirements from 5k to 10k to open an account. Small potatoes, yes, but a 100% increase none-the-less.

    Junior Trader Expected Salary

    IB's quote limitation of 100??

    Yes quote limit is based on commissions generated. But if you do good volume, say 4k a month, that's 500 quotes, 8k is 1000, etc. I think what they are doing is discouraging the passive account holder. It appears with the push toward prime accounts and raising account minimums, the...

    IB questions

    You can't do anything with it until it is funded because only then is the account considered "open" and they won't give you quotes unless you are funded. STP should come after you are funded. They usually send it out fairly quickly, but not always. While you are waiting for account...
