Plus even if they have enough excess capital to get them out of this bind, the NFA has testified that they are looking to raise capital requirements to $20million eventually. Not sure these guys can manage that. I think it better to go with one of the larger brokers like Oanda or FXCM who have a much higher chance of being around next year. I hope this helps.

I would check really hard into FXCM. If you are really concerned about your money then I would look at more then just their net cap at the moments.
