Can anyone please suggest a broker for trading currency futures on globex? I am looking for a FCM and not an introducing broker.

Open ECry has a great free platform. Test the demo and see for yourself.

have a search Archie, this question crops up from time to time. The usual recommendations seem to be interactive brokers, OEC (mainly by Brown ), Mirus, Amp, and a couple of others.

Thanks BlowFish for taking time to reply my query.

I have searched and searched and still I am not able to decide one.

I want to open an account with someone who meets following criterias:

- It should be a clearing member of CME and not an introducing broker.
- Minimum capital required is not more then $10000.
- A financially strong company with very good customer service and decent track record.

Can you recommend one on the basis of above mentioned criterias?

I will try again since my post was not seen for some reason.

Check out OEC arch. I've been trading for a few years now and very happy there, incl trading currency futures (mainly 6E).

Im happy with interactive brokers though their margin requirements are high (personally I don't think that's a bad thing). I haven't had a major glitch for years.

interactive brokers.

Good platform, good costs, higher than many margins (a good thing).
Currency cash and futures, stocks, futures incl non-electronic.
Overseas markets including Hong Kong, Australia, Taiwan, Japan etc etc.
