I find this very interesting. It would be nice to hear from Matt to see if this same thing can be implemented through Optimus... or maybe you have the answer to that already since you have apparently decided to open an account directly with Vision?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
At the moment Optimus is specializing in futures business only. Other asset classes would be a consideration if there is demand coming from our clientele. Any assert classes introduction needs to come with the best technology available, and our hands are full now with the futures market.
Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

You may be able to set up the account, but there is has been a lot of of discussion whether SIPC will cover your cash or not. If push comes to shove I think you will have a hard time collecting for an account that never held securities.
I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.
My daddy always said, "Every day above ground is a good day!"
I received a call from EssexFutures ( being a PFG customer); My number was given out by Vision to their IB Essexfutures. I was not sure if anybody has had any experience with Essex or has gotten similar calls?
This link obviously had me quite concerned since my broker is Optimus, who clears through Vision. I just spoke to Matt, who gave me a very thorough explanation of what is going on.
I might suggest that anyone who has concerns give him a call..and at least hear what he has to say on the matter.
It might also be prudent to get an explanation from someone less biased on this particular matter. Nothing against @mattz as I've seen countless helpful posts from him on this forum, but I would think if Vision is the only firm he clears through then the possibility for bias would be present. It is my understanding that the 2 main principals from Vision are leaving to form a new FCM called High Ridge.
