    anybody having issues at IB with pending orders disappearing?

    NEW CTA: Discussion on Back-Office and FCM Choices

    They are good for all CTAs including new ones. You might not get the best commissions if you talk to them directly as you are still small. Go through a good introducing broker to negotiate low commissions. Their back office is really great for CTAs
