    Sierrachart annoyed with data fees and intend to rock the boat

    Sierra used to have a russian language support board(not anymore). Someone said in another thread they are from Ukraine. I have psychological problems surrendering passwords to a closed source software from unclear origins. I have used them for charts only, that part is quite good in my opinion.

    Most forex retail traders lose money. Why is forex so difficult?

    There was a futures broker bankruptcy like 10 years ago (the thread about this is still burried somewhere in this forum), and the court documents showed that ~90% of clients lost money. That is by the way way worse than Oanda, who must disclose the number of profitable/lossmaking client...

    Ripple

    Ripple is the one with an actual use case and working, scaleable tech. I doubt price will go through the roof like BTC, since its pre-mined and founders own a large chunk of the ccy. But i think it will be successful as a payment system, and the industry seems to be quite interested in it.

    Exchange 5 digits amounts of various currencies to USD

    Have you looked at Oanda? You could make the base account in SGD, convert it to USD, put it into an USD sub-account and wire them out. IB can do this too.

    CBOE Bitcoin USD Futures

    They list contracts that fail to gain traction all the time. CME even buildt a whole exchange in Europe, complete with IT, offices, regulatory infrastructure and completely failed to attract any trade. Closed down this year.
