Anyone familiar with GlobalFutures.com?

 

I'm considering opening an account with them...

 

My other options include: Mirus, AMP, Infinity, TransAct (actually they have monthly commissions requirement - so not a good idea), Advantage (Not sure if these guys are for small retail).

Just looking for cheap Eurex access with Ninja-Trader. Access to SFE, HKFE, OSE is also something I'm seeking but I don't think that's going to happen (No I can't trade with IB).

At one point GF was running ads showing margin as little as $300/ct and that completely turned me off. A broker that is using low margins to push product is one that is just out for a quick commission and then find new prey IMO.

 

Open ECry has a nice platform that is FREE along with FREE data, so at least check it out.

They also do their clearing through FXCM- which was a double whammy. I demo'd their platform and when they proudly sent me an email that they were now clearing through FXCM- I said "Thanks but no Thanks" Ended my demo.

 

Could we see them go the way of the bucket shop? My Brother in Law has an account with them (reason for doing the demo) Not my cup of tea with these two issues popping up.

AMP futures quoted me "$2.66" for round-turn for Bund Bobl Schatz, can anyone confirm this?

It seems quite cheap as Open E cry is $3.7 round-turn, exchange fees not included, and they charge "$0.35 Foreign Service Fee per contract.".

I WAS with GF. Trading the ftse .

Comms were too high compared to what i pay now.

Also when I convert gbp to usd they convert at minus 300 pips against me.

Told them i do better at a money changer.

 

Now u know why am an ex customer.

When I inquired about the way off rate on the gbp/usd the partner at the firm shouted at me.

 

Hope this helps....-)

    • Date: 14th May 2024. Market News – May 14. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Asian stocks and European futures kept to small ranges as focus turned to upcoming US inflation reports. JGB yields surged to their highest levels in over a decade amid growing speculation that the BOJ might raise interest rates soon. Former central bank executive Momma stated that the BOJ might opt to deduct its planned bond purchases next month in an effort to revive a bond market that has been largely impaired by its ongoing substantial purchases. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized the importance of the market determining long-term yields independently rather than relying solely on the central bank’s actions. UK wage growth remained solid amid a slowdown in the job market, providing further arguments for the BOE’s monetary policy hawks to await more concrete signs of easing inflationary pressures before considering interest rate cuts. Eyes today are on producer price data in the US, followed by consumer price data the next day, which will provide insights into whether the Fed will consider interest rate cuts later in the year or postpone them until 2025. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows. The Yen extended losses for an 8th day against the Greenback to a 2-week low. Currently USDJPY is at 156.45. EURUSD rebounded slightly to 1.0785, however overall holds within a downwards channel with key resistance at 1.0850. USOIL held steady ahead of the release of an OPEC market outlook, with traders eagerly awaiting signals regarding the extension of supply curbs. Despite a decline since April, oil prices have remained relatively high this year due to ongoing supply restrictions by OPEC and its allies, with expectations that these curbs will be prolonged into the second half of the year. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold (-0.93%) declined further to $2338 per ounce. Copper rose at +2.46% and Platinum +0.54%. Market Trends:   The 10-year JGB yield to a 6-month high of 0.965%. The 2-year JGB yield, which closely reflects policy expectations, rose to 0.340%, its highest since June 2009. The 20-year and 30-year JGB yields also surged to their highest levels in 11 years and since July 2011, respectively. FTSE100 stands by record highs, the S&P500 is close to topping March’s record high. The Nasdaq rose by 0.3%, with four of the Magnificent Seven stocks rising. The Hang Seng has added 20% in a rally that is entering a fourth week. Alibaba and Tencent report earnings later today. Always trade with strict risk management.
