you can trade with ff preferred ecn mbtf starting 400$ acc and 1k$ position, which is very nice I think.

STP and ECN are free from the NFA regulations because orders are more transparent.

the goal of regulations is to prevent bucketshops collect fees on video games that played on their computer server.

a hedged long 1 lot + short 1 lot of E/U charges 700$ per month for roll-over fee alone... that's more expensive than any other video game in the world >_<

They are not free from the regulation if they are registered with the NFA. MB Trading is an ECN and they comply. It's just that their platform and the way they process orders is different. That's why the FIFO reg won't affect them. They still raised their capital to meet the NFA requirments.
