    Corporate FX trader bonus

    I understand most corporate fx dealers are compensated with salary plus bonus and the bonus is based on a cut of P&L. Does anybody have an idea what is the typical percentage payout? I'm trying to investigate the competitiveness of a job offer I've been given. Thanks.

    Globex or Currenex?

    I just talked to a guy at PropFX. He told me the Currenex platform is for price-takers. I cannot improve the market with my bids and offers. Is this the case with all Currenex whitelabels? I certainly hope not.

    Regulation on Currenex?

    I know this sounds like a stupid question, but what recourse do traders have if they have an order/execution problem on the Currenex network? Since everyone is trading under a prime brokerage setup, the banks cannot see who you are. They only see the name of the prime broker, ie. PropFX...

    Paying on the roll even when you're entitled to earn

    I have asked GAIN client service, lol. They keep beating around the bush...won't answer my question straight up. I don't think anybody there knows a thing about rolls. Either there is some other charge that nobody understands, or they're pocketing what I should be earning. I don't know.
