    Lol, your in the wrong business brother. Unless your going to ante up gt;$1mio to get a seat on an exchange you will use a broker regardless of what market you trade in. Brokers in most markets give execution priority to large accounts and they nearly all operate prop desks that use your order info against you. Further, even on exchanges variable spreads are the norm. Maybe they don't get as wide as Oanda, but there's no such thing as a fixed spread.

    Search for the best of what IS, not what you believe there SHOULD be.
    Yeah, I fully agree with you, and I currently trade with Forex.com but I am planning to proceed to DBFX or FxSol, cos they have improved charting. However, I've read negative stuff about FxSol and FXCM, and DBFX uses FXCM. So I was just wondering what you guys think about such brokers.
    thanks

    Hi guys!
    I'll need some ideas and counsel on this. Since there are so many negative aspects concerning the internet brokers we use, can it be feasible to prevent them. For instance, Is it feasible to join with a data feed support from a trusted company or exchange, and utilize that with a trading platform?
    Thanks
    Yes you are able to start an account direct w/ a bank AKA (Prime Broker)

    or 2nd top option open an account w/ a 2nd teir prime broker

    Hi guys!
    I will want a few ideas and counsel on this. Since there are so many negative aspects about the online brokers we use, can it be possible to avoid them. For instance, Is it possible to join with a data feed service from a reliable company or market, and utilize that with a trading platform?
    Thanks
    Trade with a bank, it would be your best option. Secondly too buying/leasing a seat together with the CME....they do have them for sale or rent. If you don't want to exchange”online”, you would have to exchange on the floor of an exchange.

    Only thoughts that come to my mind at this moment.
