I've noticed that a few firms including Genesis are self clearing. Is that ok, or is it risky?

They also have clearing relationships with ML and Penson so it is not all on their shoulders, if their relative size is a concern.

I looked at tradestation early on as well. It looks like you can do a lot, and they have been around for many years.
I sent them an email with a couple of questions, and they never replied...
Somewhere deep down I had this odd feeling that I wasn't what *they* were looking for. I could be wrong.
Maybe they didn't like me being in Japan or something...
Thank-you very much for the suggestion!![]()

Bro I've been trading with Lightspeed for many years now. I've traded with Anvil and other frontends. Lightspeed is by far the most stable frontend I've ever use. I would look to your computer, your network, or your internet connection. I really don't think this is a lightspeed issue. I would bet it's on your end.
Try the SSL vs. the VPN, that might do the trick
just want to mention that TradeStation's commission schedule is inclusive of all ECN and SEC fees. so if you're looking to earn ECN rebates (adding liquidity) then TradeStation is not suitable.Quote from RTimeNetCoder:
Oh, cool! Wow, thanks for taking the time to help me like this! I will PM you and if I'm lucky we can exchange contact information!

That's a good suggestion. I had problems with the vpn. After I switched to the SSL, the freezing problems went away.

Not sure I had the same problem, only later I realized that the mail landed in my spam folder.
The Customer Rep told me that he was sending my info over.. it went to my spam folder.. found it after a couple of days when I looked into my spam folder
