Ok. I am on a brink of opening account with Mirus. And here is why:


............IB....OEC...Mirus
FTSE RT com £3.40 £3.20 £2.90
FTSE margin £2000 £2000 $1000
Min deposit $10000 $5000 $2500
Ping 38 110 110


Low round-trip commission per FTSE contract is what most important for me now.
I will see if I can build up some volume and move to IB.

If anyone can recommend broker with RT commission for FTSE smaller than 2.50 please give me a shout!

Will you be able to open an account in GBP or will it have to be in USD ?

Guy called Byron from Mirus sent me wire instructions where UK bank is recipient. So the answer is yes. (I was worrying myself as making international transfer in the UK is pure pain in the back!).

I've opened IB account. Their undbundled fees for day-trading is just 1.08 per side. Beats Mirus.

Hi jj,

I just looked at their website. Only for futures I understand. In your opinion, what's the best broker for QQQQ and SPY day trading?

You should probably ask someone who trades QQQQ and SPY!
