Hi,

I am thinking of trading fx futures instead of fx spot. I wonder who is a decent broker for this (PM me if you dont want to reply on the forum)?
I also wanted to know if their are any disadvantages on fx futures v fx spot?

Regards,

RCG would be a good one, Tradestation has very good rates also, RJOBrien a good place to look, PFG, Alaron....commision varies from each, I have found Tradestaion to be best at comm....trades go through RJO I believe, and charting is free with a certain number of trades per month.....hope this small list helps. I see no disadvantages, unless you trade with sky high leverage.....you can't do that in regulated accounts, plus funds are segragated. Small fee for live data from exchanges.

I am also with RCG - I have no complains - Execution speed and even spread during news has no problems.

IB (Interactive Brokers) do have forex futures with a good commission structure as well, although Trade Station is far better in charting & trading platform in general.


Thanks,

I am sorry for being a bit offtopic, what means that funds are segregated?
