Exactly what I was thinking about in term of requirements. I was baffled why some broker wants a deposit > 10K to trade their ECN platform. And there's some brokers who enforce min volume traffic too, they get on my nerves even more. I'll stick my main acc with LMAX for the time being unless there's another broker that can best them (doubt it but I'll keep searching, who knows).
DislikedThey are much of muchness to be honest, LMAX is the closest to Currenex I have found but they offer flexibility on the accounts i.e you don't need 50k to trade. The 50k requirement was always a bugbear of mine, you don't need massive margin to trade 1 mil notional so why tie up all that money in one account... I had several at one point.
Some offer volume based accounts but to me that feels like a covert way of forcing trades on you, if you don't have 50k make sure you hit 100mil trade volume a month... perhaps I operate differently to other people...Ignored
