Thanks jstnb r g. I have heard good things about them posted before. Good to know that there are some decent options around for diversifying.

I am newer...and am broker shopping after being with TOS for a few years and wanting to move.
My question is this:
Can you trade currency forex pairs (EUR/USD) through a firm like Crossland?
I mainly trade futures (CL, YM, GC), but also need the option for forex currencies....
Thanks for any insight....

Crossland is futures-only - as far as I know.
You can trade Currency futures, Mini- and Micro-currency futures, but not direct currency pairs.
(i.e., 6E, E7, M6E, but not EUR/USD).

my personal experience (well, I should say: Corporate, since my accounts are LLC owned.. )
I dealt with Edware Hague directly, and I had my account opened within 2 weeks. The accounts are owned by an LLC, so they had to do their due diligence, etc. the setup with TT took another week or so, I was able to get all the instruments and markets I wanted, without limitations. As customary with TT, risk parameters were determined upfront (max day loss, max no
contracts , etc.); it is another safeguard for when you start overtrading or try to execute more contracts than you should which I very much welcome. I can trade Eurex, Liffe, Globex all under one single account. My comms are not on a sliding
scale , they are
flat ... and they are less than DDT offers, and way less than Velocity, or worst case, Optimuz & Mirus.
my only complaint, I am spoiled by the CRM interface for Velocity and VFM... after having experienced those two, it is kind of a pain to use RanWeb; every time I see it I want to
puke , but I get my statements emailed anyhow, so no big deal. It is not a complaint for Crossland, but for Rolfe & Nolan Systems to get with the times and update their platform which is used by hundreds of companies.
When I first shopped around, I contacted Crossland & DDT, and DDT gave me better pricing, and they also had my Corporate account & trading platform set up within 24 Hours ??

You two have a lot of nerve. The gloating is nauseating.
Sysot1t has helped me personally in the past and is an extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and successful professional.
That's not the norm on any forum.
You're way off on this Mike. He started a helpful thread, provided ACCURATE information and had an exchange with someone who put INACCURATE information on his thread and then inferred he was the ignorant one.

I believe it was more of a matter of the way in which he expressed his views. Not in a very positive way and brushed a lot of bad strokes upon many he painted over.

My comment had nothing to do with Sysot1t, and was not written in a way that could be construed as such.
I was brand-new to this forum at the time of that post, and applauding the idea that rude behavior is not tolerated.
I personally had no problem with Sysot1t, and we were having a decent conversation about our FCM prior to him being banned.
If you are upset about Sysot1t's banning, or disagree with the reasons, that is something you should take up with Big Mike, not me.

I don't think anyone is saying he was not an intelligent professional. He did open multiple accounts and he was banned for that. Initially , it was a temporary ban.
And, no, this is not the norm on any forum which is why I still come here.
@whatnext , I do like your signature by the way.
