It's hard to get an account with them... they don't have any rationalized set of rules as to why they accept or decline someone from trading with them.

I opened an account with them -- no problem (I'm a US customer).
What do you mean "don't have rationalized set of rules"??

Not sure about the "set of rules" - the one I know of is the $10k min deposit. Aside from that I'd assume they're like most US brokers when it comes to accepting new clients.

For a min deposit of $10k you can probably get more bang for your buck at other brokers considering Citi's MT4 is a white label of Saxo Bank. EURUSD usually goes out around 1.2, though recently I've been seeing closer to 1.5.

I think what draws a lot of customers is that Citi offers FDIC insurance on account deposits, certainly sounds appealing in light of the PFG Best debacle.

I trade with them. Yes, they are kinda picky when it comes to new accounts (they say 10K but would like to see more..). I'm happy to trade with them as there's not Dod/Frank bull shit FIFO and hedging is allowed. They are regulated by SEC and not CFTC because it's a bank...

1.6 spread, better over 50K acc.

1:50 leverage though, which is fine by me.

maybe, I don't know. but they are a serious broker + FDIC insured which is critical these days. I believe it's the only bank/broker in the U.S..

Where did you get the number (600 customers)? I'm just curious... as I'm one of them.

I guess that's including commissions?
