Kinda figured. Ever since the Tuco fiasco they have gone underground. All their ubiquitous advertising disappeared. Are you looking for licensed firms or LLCs?

Avatar Trading I believe uses Lightspeed. Don't know tho if they are taking any new money but you can email and ask. Google them to get info.

nice trade. you have been getting some good plays lately.

No, that was kinda sleazy of vCap to do that to ensnare those looking for HotSpot. The correct link (direct) is http://www.hotspotfx.com/. Just so you know, there are 2 different front ends that they have and it depends on your geographic location. And before anyone starts pissing and...

Fixed spread? That's probably Oanda, except during news. The best spreads I see on a regular basis is on a hotspot FXi institutional platform. .1 spreads are common. (as in 1.4586 ~ 1.45859).

Lovely choice. And gotta love the delivery method. First, the choice: this guy is the biggest blowhard in Congress. Whenever there are Senate hearings and it's his turn to ask questins, it takes him almost, literally, 20 minutes to ask the question. As if he loves to hear his own voice. Might...

Don't buy the computer with the XP option. You can easily find a corporate copy of it if you try hard enough.

4DTrader was banned from this board.

For most people and most of the traders here, they do not need a T1 line to their home. The additional cost of the service weighed against their trading is not justified, even tho the costs of a single T1 has dropped to around $300 for some carriers in major metro areas. 6 secs. faster? Not...

Kershner (and other firms) probably turned you down because they require a series 7 to trade with them (most now do with the forced public meltdown in the Tuco situation). I can't speak on the compliance aspect of whether or not a non-resident can get those licenses (I'll leave that to someone...

Any bets where Monday's Daily Show "live feed/reporter on the scene" will be reporting from as they cover this conflict?

I don't know why more people here don't look at vCap for their broker. Even tho they are only an IB to FCStone and MF Global (and yes Velocity) you can get pretty much the same deal you are getting from Velocity with the comfort of knowing that as far as capitalization goes, Stone and MF have...
