    routing fees

    What cheap fees ??? Have you bothered to look at Lightspeed's fee schedule for futures ??? Lightspeed lists the same $1.14 Globex and $0.01 NFA fee as every other futures broker.

    routing fees

    The $1.14 a side is not a routing fee. Globex is the electronic exchange owned and operated by the CMEGroup. Every public customer has to pay the exchange $1.14 per side to trade ES and the other index futures. The only way to pay lower Globex fees is to become an CME exchange member.

    Wash trade caught by IB

    Please look up the definition of "pre-arranged trade". Payment for order flow may give bad executions, but clearly the customer doesn't get to set the price by trading with himself.

    FX clearing

    What are you looking to do with FX? Most of the FX dealers are bucket shops. If you want fair FX markets then use a broker with an ECN model such as IB or trade the Globex FX futures.

    FX clearing
