From the very start they never claimed to trade equities, it's been a futures program for as long as I've been following the TST threads here. What made you think they did equities? :/

Thanks, that was really out of curiosity more than anything else.

Sigh.. no AR contracts on the currency side...

Thanks, I suppose the obvious route was obvious. :P

Yeah, looking at their volume info on Ice's site, I didn't expect them to be as liquid.. but how bad are we talking? Don't have a data feed with them on hand to look for myself. Also, power/electricity swap contracts from ICE? IB have them too?

Hey all, It seems like every broker has access to ICE softs, russell, and the DX contracts... but why is it so hard to find a broker who gives access to ICE's other contracts? Like currencies for example, DX is in the same boat and nearly everyone has it, but screw me if I want their Euro...

The core strategy (signal and subsequent order management) has to have a strong and verifiable edge. The little tweaks can't be what makes the system profitable over time, as that means you're relying too much on recent market behaviour and your edge is blurred from the natural market noise we...

Look up AMP's details on NFA's BASIC search, they just got approved to offer Forex though a whitelabel provider themselves. (Like Mirus, they can't deal or make a market, but they can provide services.) It seems most futures brokers are adding on IB services to FX providers. I wonder if...

Deposit bonuses come from somewhere... it isn't free money. Be very cautious with any broker that offers a deposit bonus. They are usually structured to benefit from failing traders.. The only other online business I know that actively does deposit bonuses are CASINOs. They can afford to...

*shhh*! I'm giving TPOTrader a hard time.. :P Yeah, the rules are a lot looser than what I made it sound like.

If you have a consistent trade history, like, 2-3+ years of proven risk management... you basically write your own ticket and many firms will offer you packages (often with you fronting the risk capital, but the OPM/leverage you desire can be found.) Til then, keep building that track...

Format for this thread is simple, post a P/L for the 'days' session, or a summery of a given week or month labeled as so. P/L is in $$$ value. You MUST post a blotter screenshot (not a 3rd party summary,) from your broker or platform's interface. There are various ways to prove you...

Will you delete your trade explorer on ET when it doesn't suit your desired image just like you have on FF? :P Welcome to ET, we play rough here.

Bone's been rather helpful here.. sharing advice where he's getting nothing in return... and his experience in the futures industry is what's causing him to call BS. You're ignoring or dismissing the advice presented to you since it doesn't conform to what you want to hear. Not sure what...

There's a lot of leverage already in futures and margins for some spreads are often reduced (Bone could probably talk your ear off about it.) If you're prepared to put up capital for a prop, why not just go direct with a decent futures broker?

Given DX contracts are heavily weighted with Euro.. and I'm not sure of any Euro currency index that's not heavily weighted against the dollar... how are you visualizing or pricing out what a 'dip' or peek is on a short EUR and short USD directional trend? Just monitoring the individual pairs...

Actually, it's even worse. LMAX round lots are 10k each on their MTF. So 50 == 500k I don't think general members on their MTF (the LPs) want to post bigger size since there's no last look feature for them to reject a trade should the market snap against them.

Anyone else cringe every time they hear or read someone saying 'the' forex instead of just forex? One trades 'in' the market, not the market.
