This thread caught my attention for I too am in search of the ideal futures broker/clearing house.
I am still smiling and chuckling from the entertainment provided by a few mud slinging individuals. A real stress reliever for some. However, stressful for the individuals in the line of fire. The entertainment that was provided convinced me to join this forum. At least a positive came out of it. Thank you! Life is way too short to stay angry!
Can anyone recommend a futures broker/clearing house that has or offers the following:
-stable redundant electronic platform with automatic failover and rollback
-fast real time execution of orders
-multiple data sites
-24 hour tech support
-operations in Pacific, Europe and North America
-in business for 5+ years
-ability to clear Pacific Rim & European futures in real time
-accept a initial account deposit of $10K (in US or Euro)
-inclusive of all fees round turn commissions of $5 or less
-platform has built in risk management to automatically place "if then" orders (ie. if order filled, place stop loss and profit taking order, if any of the pending orders are filled the system automatically closes the other orders)
-I would prefer no commission charges on cancelled orders
-online realtime P/L
I look forward to reviewing your recommendations. Thanks...
RB
