I've been browsing the forums for many years. I'm now about to start live trading futures so decided to get involved and hopefully contribute something worthwhile to the community.
I'm UK based and looking for advice on which broker/clearing firm to sign up with for trading primarily CL and GC. I only use Sierra Chart and plan to use their Teton order routing with Denali data feed so the broker/clearing firm must be compatible. My understanding is that some US firms allow GBP deposits to prevent clients from being stung with FX fees. Clearly this would be the route to take unless there are any UK based brokers that I am unaware of. Does anyone have any experience with this type of arrangement?
I have been investing for 15 years and trading on and off for 10 years with relatively small spread betting accounts. I intend to deposit 35-40k for my futures trading.
