SE - creative ideas? Geez, you already have a list of specific questions: do they reditrect through TOPS or do they have direct Globex2. Guess few could answer. Most "Globex" connections have a TOPS redirection first. Yo can check this with the trading hours they announce: most trade in RTH, and this is TOPS redirection to Globex. Only PMBe has a clear answer, listing the contracts you are able to trade directly. For the rest, with the equities futures around the corner, I would expect many so-called IBs to compete for customers and order flow, in order to sell their customer's list as soon as the new products will be available. Customer's satisfaction being the least of their concerns as long as an account is opened. That industry is clearly not ready to trade with a large amount small online traders. And these are coming.
