Apologies Robert for calling you out if you find it inappropriate in this thread but I thought you might be the best person to ask. ARB Trading Group claims to be a corporate equity member of CME, hence they can offer very low rates.

Correct me if I am wrong - does it take at least about $1.5M to purchase all the memberships required for such a company plus another $2.5M to purchase CME shares or $7,500 monthly instead of shares?
Does the fact they claim to be a CME member of this type sort of guarantees they are well capitalised?

$4M or $7,500 per month certainly is a long way from my definition of "well capitalized"!

I have got some info from Arb Trading Group itself regarding their offer. So, again I am too old and experienced for them to take me on as a trainee. However, I may trade through them if I put down $25,000 capital.
Their offer is really good regarding commission rates, desk fee and, what's interesting, 20% participation in the downside as well as upside. Moreover, my capital is there to cover any losses only, not used strictly for margin, although obviously my max size would probably be reduced if I experience a large drawdown.

Please share any opinions, gossip or experience with this company as this will help me decide whether they are legit enough and can be trusted with my money.

Had been with them for sometime few years back. Company is for sure legit but then realized the terms being offered weren't that great and the platform was clumsy for execution. Their capital requirement used to be high at that point not sure what it is now. With my current prop min. requirement was only $2k with 90% split for my kind of volume and same first loss capital model and better execution so stuck to this one
