Help me chose a broker.

Quote from sage investment:

ibtrade is one of many victims of PFGBest ponzi scheme. at least the investors are getting their money back albeit slowly like MFGlobal's clients.

they now have a nice coming soon page, www.ibtrade.com.

In the case of PFG, there is not enough money found for customers to get back more than 50%.

The WSJ today says PFG customers cannot expect to get back most of their money, unlike MFG.

ibtrade looks to me to just be one of the many others white-labelling the PFG panel of money managers. Now they have to find some other stable of money managers. These introducing brokers in general are just a marketing exercise.

Is that your company?

No, Ibtrade is the company which I work with about my CTA account.

Now they work with another FCM. People there offer very nice services.

Quote from Jack_Larkin:

Looked at AMP?

Last night I opened an account with them only to find out today morning that it was declined:

"You did not meet the required risk requirements".

I have a year experience trading futures, but I don't have too much networth( i'm a student) I am employed also.

Any advice?

I am gonna try with Mirus now.

Interactive Brokers and Optimus Trading Group or Traders Platform (also Optimus if you're strictly using NinjaTrader)

Optimus data feed is Rhythmic which is pretty good. IB provides snap shot data feed.

If/when you gain a decently sized trading account you'll want to spread it across two or three brokers. Negotiate the commission rate.

I don't use either, yet.
