Ratings are only as accurate as the underlying data on which they are based. If PFG submits bogus information in their financial reporting ... any ratings based off of that information will be invalid.

Garbage In== Garbage Out

It might be true: company's RELIABILITY is such a vague concept because behind these FCM names there's real people. You may hardly rank how TRUSTABLE people are.........even relatives sometimes (personal experience) ....
Probably these rankings aren't worth a penny, nevertheless I don't feel very secure when I read that CROSSLAND (the FCM of my introducer) is in the bottom 4 of all the lists I see.

@italiantrader

Realize the Top 50 list is based on size of the company. That does not say how profitable or trustworthy they are.

This may help.....

Vision holds its funds at Harris Trust (Not a bank with prop desks to the best of my knowledge. This is a Canadian affiliate of BMO (Bank of Montreal)

Does Vision itself engage in prop trading?
