Valbury are a well respected broker, but they're a prime of prime broker. Minimum deposits are much much higher.

The company policy is a minimum of $10,000 but I have the authority to allow a smaller investment on a test basis.

I haven't ask but I guess Atom8 will offer this.

General advise though: ask the broker directly and explain them your trading style from a risk management point of view. If you're anything like me (trading on the minute chart, tight SL, no news, no overnight) there shouldn't be a problem with high leverage on bigger accounts.

The default maximum initial leverage for regular trading hours is 100:1, permitting you to gain exposure up to a 100 times the amount of your Equity. We may at our discretion consider different limits in specific cases, upon request.

We have discretion to reduce Leverage to (e.g. 50:1 or 20:1) which we, for example, consider such change to be prudent, taking into account current macro-economic conditions, volatility and market stress and/or relevant political or financial events or news announcements. - https://www.atom8.com/margin-policy

Phylo, I spoke to Atom8 recently, they're offering higher leverage, you just have to ask them. What I didn't asked, is if they offer that on a 100k deposit.

They emphasis on institutional clients i.e. hedge funds,asset managers and banks but they do allow private/retail clients.
so no merit for retail clients.
but i think they are reliable.

The company policy is a minimum of $10,000 to open account but their staff James allow a deposit of $5000.
James said to me,
I have the authority to allow a smaller investment on a test basis.

It doesn't make sense why can an account of $20,000 be able to trade up to 5 Billion even after an over loss of $1 Million?
Moreover Futures Market?

Futures Market should be "Limit up" with that type of volume, seem like the French trader is trying to pull a fast one?
Unless Valbury gave him a credit line and he trades on the CFDs instead of the Futures?

This article is just not detailed enough to know who is BSing.

David Belle, a pretty popular and respected trader and market commentator on Twitter recently started working at this firm. You should check out what he has to say about the place, or maybe hit him up. Although he works there, he is pretty unbiased on his Twitter and such.
Based on that, I would say the broker is at least legit, whether it is any good or not, that is another question.
