{quote} In theory, they only make around 5 bucks a trade. 5 goes to clearing fee at PB 5 normally goes to FlexTrade Probably 2 due to their volume. So that's pretty much their profit ratios.
Do you keep any positions overnight with them and if so, how do they mark up rollover rates?

Well I do and I haven't noticed any weird widening at 10 PM LDN time. Rollover is raw IRS rate - margin financing with PB

actually they offer both for institutional clients: credit line and margin. Nothing new but only one thing, is conflict of interests. They mention in agreement possible
Conflict of interests with small retail clients as Citifx pro. Citifx does not have it in their agreement.

Hello All,
There are lots of useful information in this thread from the people who seems to know this type of stuff. I have couple of questions which may sound stupid but no harm in asking, right.

I am in USA, so I was wondering if there is a Prime Broker, Liquidity provider or any other non-retail broker with MT4 terminal. I have developed a moderately successful EA for MT4 so having an MT4 terminal is important.

Do a Prime Broker, Liquidity provider or any other non-retail broker in USA have to stick to FIFO & hedging rules issued by NFA?

Thanks.

{quote} How much do you want to invest and reiqirement margin %?
I am willing to start with a low six figure sum as long as the broker is situated in US. I would welcome a suggestion even if starting requirement is higher as I might be able to meet higher limits in future. I am not concerned about margin limit & ok with 50% margin limit. Important thing for me is MT4 terminal and no FIFO & hedging restrictions as I run multiple strategies on a terminal.

I see you already with Citi MT4 demo, my advise is don't listen anybody, listen youself, best experience is your own One.

Sure. What leverage do they offer? And, 100k deposit and $15/m - is that correct? Can you use multiple platforms concurrently? Did they offer information about their financial situation/stability?

Hi all,

100 k Deposit Min, 1:50 on G4, 1:20 on AUD NZD MYR etc 1:10 on some of the NDFs and 1:5 on the RUB.

You can use multiple platforms concurrently and you'll have a global NoP on the platforms, I've been using only 1:10 - 13 leverage and building soft flows into the market. So far I have realised around 10% of the account, hence, 1% returns, was this really driven by the broker? No not really. But having gone through some of the interesting experiences with this true real PoP, I have noticed that the approach is a lot more professional than most of the guys out there. Lots of the employees are UBS, DB alumnus so they kind of know what they're doing.

In terms of financial situation and stability, they said a few clients were caught on the SNB but it's not a worth while figure for them to pursue. Their company at any one time holds around 12 Million pounds in their own company accounts, not segregated accounts, seems quite stable.

Spreads are OK, but not as good as what the demo quoted, sometimes a pip on cable when demo is at 0.5, fine by me because these are just institutional floating spreads + the ECN within Currenex.

I think it's quite good, not bad at all and 15 bucks is a fair commission.
