If you go to the forums and search Universal Accounts you will find a nice thread in which people have been clamoring for this for what I believe to be about 2 years. I gave up hope a while back when it seemed that they just didnt regard it as a priority.
At the time I had an account at IB and they seemed to have the system down. I recall that the best solution for me at the time was to funnel all trades over to IB from TS and have them in their Universal account. If your set on doing FX and Futures its something to consider given the length of time they've been working on it. Don't get me wrong I like, and find the TS platform very comfortable/stable just not user friendly in that regard.

i enquired but still have not open the separate Forex account with TS (i already have Equities account with them). i found the spreads hard to read with the 5 decimal places quotes and having to pay "twice" on commissions: firstly pay spread to Gain Capital (their clearing partner) and then $2.50 per trade commission to TS.

glad to see TS folks here trading forex, and the universal account certainly is good news.

Any update on the universal account ? Do we still have to fund separately the futures/forex/equity account ? It does add up in international wire fee and it's not convenient at all to switch buying power from one product to the next.
