Although it is true that you need 100K US for a US margin trading account , you don't need that much to trade futures with IB! However it is true that overnight margin for 1ES with IB is around 13-14 K USD
One advantage IB offers is you can trade everything under one roof AUS equity/ Options ...
I am not asking about how to go from 30K to 50 K etc
my question is if the account is called $150,000 account does that mean it $150,000 of real money or just exposure?
o lets take an example:
ES: what is your internal margin per 1 contract and HOW MANY ES contracts are allowed to be traded in...
'...outright trading platform with bolt-on functionality for native spreads"
yes that is confusing
Execution wise they say it is direct exchange book so no legging risk
but representing the spread is done via individual leg
So in other words the SPRED bid ask is not real native book bid ask...

- Why do you need to know how many test were soled and how many were...
you're not really trading a 150K account, but a 3K account. YES that is great point so why do they call 150K account? a marketing gimmick
So to be funded by TST and like you have to pass the test... + pay the fees meaning a break even point
you might be profitable in your current style but...
You are the one claimed "1) Bucket shop. If you are trading peer-2-peer through the exchange where you see an order book, and this gives you a feeling that you are trading with real counterparty - you are terribly wrong about how "real" it is. Majority of exchanges have their in-house...

Website is not much of help

so according to you big established regulated exchanges like CME has a internal market making robots to to show false depth of market? and thus your OTC product is better in some way?
any proof of all this?
also wonder why would you/ Bitmex etc not take US residents? perhaps you don;t want...
Ib UK... If there is Saxo UK is it really offering direct true market trading or it is their own Over The counter product.. this point is very important
What about ECN or Market Maker? public should be made aware the pitfalls of MM model
Also ASIC regulated is good but at the end of the day if an ASIC regulated OTC broker goes belly up the Client become another creditor .. I doubt if any ASIC regulated brokers mentions that...
Sure there are...
Sparrow spreads are bad + they are not regulated like CME! + last time I checked you cant directly deal in USD but have to convert your base currency in to some other Saprrow ICO / dollars why?
