    You just have to disclose, that's it. Your supervisor may also say no. They don't want a conflict of interest at some firms. With the smaller futures brokers it wouldn't be a problem. They front run their own customers anyway.

  2. Firms can set their own rules. Sign and abide by the compliance form, or hit the highway.

    Without a personal account, how can they front run?

  4. How can they front run in general in non-pit markets? Dont get me wrong, but... how would you front run an electronid 1 lot buy order at the marget for the ES? ;) Wont make any difference and as a broker you dont earn any money on it.

    To front run one needs IMHO a pit ;)
