Looks like the Scholar missed this big development. Gain Capital bought out Direct Forex. So scratch them from the list. Here is the official Direct Forex Statement:
Dear Direct Forex Customer,
As you already know, Direct Forex LLC (“Direct Forex”) will be transferring the custody and clearing of all forex accounts to Gain Capital on Wednesday, August 29th 2007. Please keep in mind that it is important to liquidate any positions by the close of business, 4:00PM (CDT) on the aforementioned date. All open positions will be liquidated to facilitate the transfer of the accounts to Gain Capital.
For your convenience, we have attached a link that allows you access to Gain Capital’s two proprietary trading platforms. These platforms can be accessed through Direct Forex’ website (
www.directforex.com) and by clicking on the link
http://www.directforex.com/products/demo1.aspx. Please take time to familiarize yourself with these new trading platforms in order to minimize any disruption to your trading.
Please keep in mind that Gain Capital is in the process of integrating MetaTrader 4, and is confident that the system will be available on or around October 1st, 2007. Direct Forex appreciates your business and will keep you informed of any updates.
Sincerely,
Direct Forex
