Lmax has a Pop service now too (with BNP Paribas as PB). It can only be used via FIX or primexm bridge. It looks like its designed for MT4 brokers who want more then only lmax liquidity.
BNP Paribas as PB hmmmmm.

Won't comment but I know their product quite well, it's ok at G10 but ....

What do you mean. The point of a PB is that you can access other venues too (ECNs and other banks) and not just a singular bank feed.

'Singular bank feed' is it bad, for your opinion?

Well that depends, not sure if you have dealt with ISDAs and Give Ups but not a lot of banks are willing to be LPs for brokers anymore, when one puts their trades through Cortex, there is not give-up fee and BnP charges no fee for the customer to trade with them, so there is always a tendency for brokers to deal with their prime broker more than the other liquidity providers....

To elaborate, DB doesn't really allow customers to trade away from AutoBahn.

Citi has an imposed minimum fee to be met from spreads revenue trading with Citi...

It goes on and on...

Half a yard is more than enough, but not over trade to get reduced commission.

Do you need help for me to put you in touch with a $10 per MM deal if you trade half a yard monthly?

Don't worry. I'm "scalping" on a minute chart so one could say over trading fits my nature ... no seriously! I'm right now between 350 and 500 million on average (monthly), due to the great ups and downs with the Greece party this month was "a bit" more. No over trading just very comfortably a few higher volume short term trades a day.

Thanks, but I guess there is a bit more to do on my side first. I'll need a different trading platform, or can I still use MT4 on those products? What about leverage? I guess I will not get 100:1, is 50:1 feasible?
Anyway, I'll get back to your offer. For now, I'm very interested but too busy to handle any more changes right now.

It depends some prime of prime do offer 1:100, but my strategy is that I dont like going over what their prime brokers give them which is around 1:50. I know a few prime of prime that offers 1:100, do PM me your email and I'll put you in touch with these guys.

nah dont use MT4, use Currenex, though you can still use MT4

Yup, you still need a PB if you're running a MT4 space, and having three PBs can minimise your clearing costs accordingly so what's wrong?

No because the flow is toxic and highly leveraged, good for you, not good for the broker or customers like ourselves. You will retailise our flow...

Its all depends how one trades or gambles and it end flow is toxic but were comes leverage part decides flow? Yeah a broker willing to retailise your flow doesn't harm the industry right?
