Futures Trading, Which Broker?

[travelbug]

To trade stock index futures like mini Dow Jones & Nikkei, which broker is recommended?

I know Philips Futures can uses its Poems online trading to trade futures But I have heard that Philips can face technical problems & settlement issues.

Trying to find alternatives to Philips any better ones here in Spore?

Also found MF Global which has a Spore branch, formerly known as Man Financial but their start up capital to open account is high!

It is true that Phillip faces & still facing a lot of technical problems. System is also very slow & always hanged, b'cos I heard the boss is a miser who doesn't want to upgrade their system & yet wants to take in more customers.

When the market is hot, the system always get hanged, & they always like to do maintenance during trading hours which is very strange. During this 10 or 15 mins maintenance period, you cannot key in any order. Rumoured that it is for their own in-house orders to be executed first.

For full service, go DBS Vickers. A lot better among local shops.
