    Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

    Thanks to all for all the information! Background: I have had an account with Oanda for 2 years, but recently decided to stop trading there primarily because I feel they have "stacked the deck in their favour" by not offering trailing stops, moving the spreads as they feel like it, by...

    Anyone out there use or has used Gain Capital - Forex.com?

    I will certainly give their demo a try. I noticed they have much lower spreads (1-2) for active clients. That being said...Questrade who uses them is a Canadian firm covered under the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF). Should Gain or Questrade go bankrupt (see Refco) then the fund...

    So Oanda and Interactive Brokers...are the only 2 that are not the Marketmaker on your trade? Any feedback/experience with Gain Capital (Forex.com). So far my demo experience has been good with them but I am smart enough to know the Demo does not always equal Real-time.
