    My choices for futures firms are extremely limited due to the BC Securities Commissions Laws. I need an Xtrader Pro account and so far cannot find a single firm willing to take me on as a client.

    If anyone knows a firm please let me know.

    So no one knows a single company?

    As a sidenote, this is what happens when regulators overregulate and kill any chance of any business developing. BC's financial sector is a fucking joke as a result of this kind of bullshit. If anyone is curious, the BCSC prevents any broker from accepting BC clients unless they are registered with the BCSC (at a high cost and lots of paperwork). Basically no US firm wants to put up with it. At least Ontario residents have an simple exemption where anyone can sign a paper saying the firm did not solicit their business, thus allowing them to open an account.

    FUCK YOU BCSC

    Canada is a tough country for brokers. Very fragmented market due to a separate regulatory regime in each province. Global Futures used to support BC but I'm not sure anymore.
