Sorry for any delay in responding, I don't visit FPA but about once a month.... Answer to your question, for easy of handling commissions with Acme I opened an account with ECN Alpha. I have no complaints about Acme except that the account manager didn't follow my instructions in the first two months and put my account in 'non-aggressive' trading when I had repeatedly asked for 'aggressive' trading. They straighten that out after I inquired about lesser returns. I am now trading in the 'aggressive pool.
Back to your question, I have a problem or two with ECN Alpha, one they have shutdown their servers two times for 48 hours per event on short notice. Fortnately the Acme guys had no problem managing the issue as they maintain offices nearby. I make no other claim. I considered addinng additional capital to the account and having a friend open an account when a fraud complaint showed up in FPA about a withdrawal request not being honered. I have contacted the broker ECNALpha and asked the to resolve this issue or I will move my account. That issue is still in process. I am personally looking into alternatives and finding a broker for USA clients, ECN with reliable spreads etc. is a challenge.
good luck all.
