FuturesTrader71, So you clear through Ironbeam. Is there a reason why Firetip is not included in your list of platforms? On the Ironbeam website Firetip is featured.

Updating here.

There was some discussion during the webinar about FIO members forming a group/pool to get discounted commissions. Anybody interested? We'd need at least 5, but the more the merrier.

I've been talking to Morad already. My hope is we can include any Elite Member that wants it.

Will update when have more. Nothing for certain just yet.

I'm waiting for TT-web platform + TT routing possible on Eurex without this horrible 250$/month fee.
Unfortunately for now it's not possible.

If you will offer it + good commission, I'm in

Edge Clear, Dear Sir:

I guess your company is starting as a small business (comparing to other brokers like IBKR or TDA, for example)

Currently there is large volatility in the markets.

For example one week ago IBKR recognized a loss of US$ 88.000.000 resulting from the crude oil contract price dropping

The coronavirus subject brings uncertainty too.

Due to events like these or similar, do you think your company is financially strong as to face volatile events?

For example, if several of your clients suffer loss in excess of the cash in their accounts due to margin calls and because of this you too loss a lot of money ... do you have a plan to face events like this?

Excuse my mean english. My best wishes for your project. I am one of the several followers of FT71 too.

Buenos días, usted inglés está bien, ¡mejor que mi español!

I'm sure that @EdgeClear will respond, but I wanted to point out a major distinction here.

IBKR is also an FCM, in addition to accepting accounts directly from the public. That means they clear their own clients trades.

Edge Clear is not an FCM (yet?) and gives you several choices who you would like to clear through. You can find a barometer of FCM financial health, as required, on the CFTC website I believe (someone please correct me). This report lists their exact cash on hand in their clearing account, for example, exactly for what you described -- client losses in excess of client trading account value.

tengas un buen día!

Thanks @BigMike! Here is the link you are referring to about FCM's Financial Data: https://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/financialfcmdata/index.htm

The number we like to look at is the Excess Net Capital. This is the amount by which the adjusted net capital exceeds the net capital requirements.

Hi @Blaster666

Thank you for reaching out! This is a great question. I believe Edge Clear is financially strong to face the toughest challenges. As Mike mentioned, we are an Introducing Broker which has clearing relationships with multiple FCM's. As an IB, we do not hold the customer segregated funds account. FCM's are required to hold these funds in a segregated bank account that are held separate from the working capital of the FCM.

This customer segregation protection is a core principle of the futures industry. We take customer funds and the risk in trading futures very seriously at Edge Clear.

Please call us with any questions 773.832.8320 or 844.TRADE20. Trading Futures is not suitable for all investors. Past Performance is not indicative of future results.
