Brokerage and Prime Brokerage Services
Brokerage and Prime Brokerage services are a specialty of ours. They are such a significant piece of the puzzle in terms of long-term success in the FX markets, that all brokerage solutions must be very carefully considered.
This is serious business! Knowing the limitations, risks, and manipulation in which quite literally ALL major Forex FCMs become engaged in, it is very important to ensure you are working with a top broker which is the best fit for your trading needs and your business model. Brokerage due diligence is our specialty. Some members of our team have been caught in the past with brokers who had outright committed fraud against them, or who have been bankrupted, or shut down by regulators for various reasons. Once this happens, it raises the bar very high on strict brokerage selection. There are many considerations to factor in when choosing a brokerage for a partner. Some of these include…
- Regulation
- Jurisdiction
- Acceptable Clients
- Execution Model
- Software Platforms
- Bridges
- Feed Aggregation
- Liquidity and Depth of Market
- Banking Partners
- Customer Support
- Reputation / Reviews
- Prime Broker Relations
- Paid-up Capitalization
- Leverage and Margin
- Capital Adequacy Requirements
- Trade specific technical requirements
If there is one area you must pay special attention to, it is on brokerage selection. All the factors above may have a significant impact on the trading landscape you traverse through during your time a a trader. Certain traders may have very different trading requirements, and this often requires a highly personalized approach.
We have close relationships with various brokerages in the industry and know the vast majority of brokerage owners. We have no problems making introductions, and recommendations to our top contacts when we have confidence in the group being referred. This is always better than “cold calling” a brokerage and going through the typical sales chains, and treated as a recyclable trader. If you have potential to be successful and bring good business, you should speak with a specific senor relationship manager, or director, by way of referral.
Furthermore, our partners on this project own and operate a custom clearing firm which provides brokerage and prime brokerage services for private and institutional clients. They deliver a comprehensive FX Prime Brokerage (FX PB) platform with integrated systems to manage risk and execution on a global scale across strategies. The platform sponsored market gives access to the largest ECN on the planet with some of the deepest liquidity available.
One way or another, we understand the serious nature of this aspect of trading, and feel we accommodate to a wide variety of traders, including our own by providing the best trading environment.
