Hello tiddlywinks, I kind of agree, we have to be careful with assumptions and rumors. But on the other hand, innocent clients lost loads of their money in the past (Refco, MF Global, PFG...), usually because there was lack of information, otherwise they could have wired their money out in...

Hi KeLo, thanks for the input ! So far I dont see any margin change on the website of Tradovate, I guess they will keep everything the same on their side now that they offer Phillip Capital as FCM. It seems to me that more and more IBs are moving away from Dorman or at least offer additional...

Hey you guys, I hear some stories that Tradovate is changing from Dorman to Phillip Capital as their new FCM. Does any of you know more about this ? Would you say this is a good or bad thing, how does Phillip Capital compare to Dorman ? Greetings, CALLumbus

I really like Robert Morse's posts very much. So much info and insight, almost every day. This forum would not be the same without him.

Hello Saltynuts, I remember guys like "lescor" back then who really thrived on the extreme volatility at that time and had crazy days and overall fantastic profits. Then I also remember a guy (Robert Weinstein) who did some nice trading in his journal first, but then really got fuXXed in Lehman...

Hey Joebone, that machine seems nice to me, but maybe another idea: why not split it up and dedicate one PC just for trading and trading related stuff, and another machine for internet, music, youtube and other dirty stuff (porn :-D ). That way each machine does not have that much simultaneous...

Hello HobbyTrading, thank you for your input. Yes, I just read about transferwise today, and also about revolt, which seems to offer similar services. Problem is, they still seem to pool clients' money in one account, at least for USD. I would like a solution where I really have a dedicated...

Hi all, do you know of any other brokers/ banks/ companies that offer a multi currency account similar to Interactive Brokers (IDEAL FX) ? An account from which I can convert from my base currency to other currencies, with low fees and tight spreads, and from which I can also send...

Tiddlywinks, thank you very much for the feedback and insight. I think your thoughts and comments will really help me with my decisions. Wish you a nice day, and good trading :-)

Tiddlywinks, thanks for your feedback. I like your choice of trading partners, I think AMP offers a fantastic combo for an excellent price. Same for Dorman, I think they are doing a good job. The question for me is, how much cash should you keep on your margin account with an FCM of that size ...

They dont offer spot currencies, I think.

Tiddlywinks, thank you very much for that interesting insight. I agree with you that being public itself does not have to be good. What I think might be good is the additional reporting/ regulation that comes with it. But I have not very much experience with that kind of stuff. Interesting...

Hey Wicked Daddy, I am trying to collect some financial data on GAIN capital since I am also interested in them as FCM. Maybe there is some useful info for you in my thread: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/question-on-financial-data-for-gain-capital.320755/ Greetings, CALLumbus

Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the fact that GAIN capital is listed on NYSE and therefore falls under additional regulation and reporting obligations compared to a privately hold FCM (like for example Dorman trading, or Transact Futures) adding an additional layer of control/ security for us...

Found some pretty interesting data on the GAIN Capital website: You can find the full document in the attached "March 2018 Metrics".pdf file.

Thans for your input, tiddlywinks.

Hi all, I have a question on financial data for GAIN Capital. If you look at the CFTC website with monthly data for all the registered FCMs (https://www.cftc.gov/sites/default/files/idc/groups/public/%40financialdataforfcms/documents/file/fcmdata0218.pdf), you will find the following data for...

I agree, and for everyone who has been around for a while and knows how to trade, this must be like trader's dreamland. If one is not happy with this kind of volatility in the ES and NQ, and all the moves and countless opportunities throughout the day, then maybe he should look for another job...
