box options spread = one of the worst

I've used Oanda for a long time now. I have no intention of using the box option.

Quote from Remiraz:

very possible. a lot of BOM customers were saying they would invest more $ if only BOM had some financial backing/credibility.

Does someone know how is the financial situation of Betonmarket.

Remiraz wrote above customers wait for BOM tohave some backing/credibility, does itmeans that theycould diseappear or gobankrupt easely.

Are they like brokers (one trader win what another lose) or like Casinos, getting rid of their best traders one way or an other to stay alive

Quote from gkishot:

Why almost not a one forex trading website offeres plain vanilla spot currency options that can be bought & sold at any time?

I've searched high and low for vanilla forex options. Found 4 firms offering. One is no longer around, another doesn't allow writing options, and the other two are Saxo and CFOS/FX. Of the last two, CFOS/FX allows buying/selling for any expiration date. I believe Saxo were a bit more rigid and their margin requirements to write options are quite a bit more, especially over the weekend.
