    Thanks Zor
    I will check them out.
    I also found that there is one off shore broker CMEG who offers sterling and direct access routing and telling to open an account within a week. Any suggestions on that ? Is my money safe with a off shore broker ?

    I know, but i have to trade somewhere until you open my account.
    Hope you don't mind that.

  3. Don't crawl into his ass. They don't want your account for whatever reason or don't have their shit together. Choose a different firm and move on. Why not IB by the way? I don't personally like brokers who are too choosy and when brokers start to ask about your approach to trading and trading style and how much monthly volume I intend to trade then all alarm bells go off, but perhaps that's just me. That's like someone asking you at the entrance of Walmart how much you intend to buy today and how long time you intend to spend inside the supermarket as criterion whether you are allowed in or not. I call bullshit on that kind of business model.

    I have IB account already, and just found out that can work with sterling. I'm going to try that and see how that works.
    Thanks
