Since the demise of PFG Best, I am in the market for a new broker. I have been reading the different threads on NexusFi (formerly BMT), but I haven’t found what I am looking for.
I was hoping someone could help me point me in the right direction and it may help out anyone else who might have (had) a PFG account.

I wonder what type of datas you get from Gain Capital (What's the source). Maybe we can match their feed with Kinetick using the professional option for Forex datas as the basic Kinetick feed for Forex comes from FXCM.
