Hi all, I noticed some interest in scalping and arbitrage from you guys. Not sure how many of you are still active in Forex but, I work with 5 firms that have zero trading restrictions. I love and welcome scalper business, and can set you up with a 2 pip fixed spread on the majors or tight variable spreads using ECN and STP. You can visit http://www.forextradersinc.com for more info on these firms I deal with. Also for scalpers I offer rebates based on trading volume.
As far as swap arbitrage, it's generally frowned upon by brokers, it was good a couple years ago but pretty much all the brokers have wised up to it and even the swap free ones are charging fees to protect themselves. Even so there may be some decent arbitrage opportunities with Broco who I work with which offers CFDs and Forex in the same account.

Normally I would agree with you, but Broco has the best, most fair fixed spread platform I have ever seen. Have you ever seen a broker with fixed spreads give you a price improvement on a market order before? I didn't either till I traded with WHC/Broco. They also have Currenex, variable spread STP MT4, Strategy Runner, and Lazer Trade. So please don't jump to conclusions based on your past experience with bucket shops.
