  4. yes i've heard of them if you are mean GFETC (global futures exchange trading company or daytrade4less).
    I'am IB for that company just started. they promise a lot but till now they couldn't met there promises.
    I agree on a fee based on volume but they overcharged, they will correct it but i have to wait on that, they don't have 24hr.tech.support probably no problem for you if you are from the states but i coming from the netherlands so that not so nice.
    About the margin they are correct, they clear by RCG thats also no problem, and they do have the patssystem.
    Please let me now if you have any questions or if you want to deal with them please let me now your expirience and who you are talking with over there.

    Regards,

  10. High Volume Traders with capiatal should look elswhere!

    $2,500 to open an account and trade 5 minis! Wow, I am glad that I don't have to risk manage over there!

    FFastTrade: $3.32 round trip plus $550 system charge per month.

    If you trade more than 161 Round trips per month, it is cheaper, but margins are only 50%, so you need $2000 for every ES intraday. Minimum to open an account is $15,000 and maintenance is $5,000.
