(It had been at Wedbush through an IB, but all of the IB's accounts were forced to leave Wedbush... or at least so they said.)
Not true of course.

Have you signed up with DAW? Is that how ur trading with them?
They can't clear trades with Eurex and other places (Dorman). So they will be using their bank. Where you deposited your money I'm assuming. Could be elsewhere tho.
What I don't understand is if Dorman goes down in a blazing glory, does the depositing bank have to cough up the cash / cover the money that dorman can't.
I've always wondered what happens there.

DAW? I don't know what that is, I'm trading directly with them. I also don't trade EUREX, just CME. I do think there is an option for including EUREX though. Their bank is BMO Harris I think. I believe customer's cash should be as safe as in any other FCM I assume. Do you trade with them?
You are very confused.
DAW Trading has nothing to do with Dorman.
It says right on the website "A Division of Phillip Capital".
Phillip Capital is another FCM.
We all saw what happened to MFGlobal segregated accountsYour money is kept in a segregated account apart from your FCM. http://www.cftc.gov/IndustryOversight/Intermediaries/FCMs/fcmsegregationfunds
What holdings would that be that they can convert? I have nothing good or bad to say about Dorman. We don't do business with them. My only comment I made was that vs other FCMs, they are on the small side based on Net Capital. Most smaller FCMs prefer Day-traders becasue the overnight requirement of 8% of customer margin becomes hurdle.
