looking for FCM / multi-asset broker for relatively high volume trading

[klotzki]

Can anyone recommend a cheap and reliable futures broker for someone trading anywhere from 10k-30k round trips a month, aside from IB?

Must:
- Cheap. Rates close / similar to those applicable to prop firms and what arcades are charging.
- Access to all major futures markets worldwide
- Supports CQG NET and/or TT NET, but open to other trading platforms with fast & reliable datafeed and routings from HK or Singapore.

Bonus:
- Access to other markets and assets classes (e.g. stocks, FX) global
- Supports cross margining

Thanks,
Klotzki

with that kind of volume, probably an idea to put it through a broker. when you are doing 10-30k lots a month, you need to have a strong trader execute for you, who knows the market you are trading. you qualify for insto rates anyway, so its a matter of getting a quote. The reality is that if a broker saves you 10 ticks on your trade, you will find that your brokerage becomes a minor component. I work at a major brokerage house in Sydney on the institutional desk, and we do this kind of trades for some very big clients, including banks.
