Is anyone aware of any trading arcades in Geneva or Zurich? I'm sure they must exist but I cannot find details of any on the web. I'm referring to a trading arcade where one can pay a desk fee for access to technology and office space to trade your own account, I'm not looking for a job or a prop deal.

I may be wrong but I thought pretty much any information or analysis that is available to the pros is now available to you on your PC via the browser... what specifically are you looking for that can only be accessed thru a trading arcade?

Information and analysis may be available to anyone but hardware infrastructure, connectivity and access to lower commissions/spreads is not, at least not in a cost effective manner.

There are many arcades in the UK and Germany that exist to provide this service, if it was available from home I imagine theyd be out of business.

I saw this place the other day...a bit damp but allows me to make as many calls as I need

Just kidding! Be interested to see what you find - I wasn't aware that you could obtain lower spreads merely by renting office space/hardware...?

well, true in a logical world... but never underestimate the power of ignorance..

i paid CHF 1.50 a minute to call India for years...
until I discovered VoIP. I now pay CHF 0.10 a minute for the same service.

yet millions continue to feed the Swisscom monster every day.
