Thread: Brokers that offer Token/Pin card etc. to login

  1. #1
    Hello, I was thinking at a post of WHTenn regarding safety of the computers, the threat of downloading new appliions, etc..

    I am curious if someone know a broker that offer a token, pin cardfinger-print apparatus, etc., as a technique to enforce safety when login, I think it will be definetly an intriguing feature.

    Interactive Brokers has a safety device. Its problematic for algorithmic traders (no more auto-reconnect potential ), so customers can also opt out of this.

    Thanks for the information Shrike, is nice to know the alternative exist with this broker, I think this is a significant feautre that more brokers must consider, particularly when they state trade anyplace, open our platform from any computer with internet access on the planet... yes of course... If occasionally my computer that I take care a lot of, gets infected with virus, envision tyiping your passwors at a lend or public computer...

I am sending you a PM.

    Last year some hackers used stolen logins to pump up penny-stocks around the OTC-BB, where they had positions in, then dumped their rankings at a higher price, leaving those clients with a loss. Many direct access brokers clients were affected. IB made the security apparatus mandatory pretty soon afterwards. You cant likely be paranoid enough when it comes to these items, even tho that a simmilar fraud wouldnt work in FX.

    Hey ADO... I've researched this issue since you posted this a few days back. I haven't found anyone that offers such tight security. That is unfortunate.

    I've three firewalls, two virus softwares along with a keylogger defeating program. I feel safe with my machine. Every 2 weeks I do draw from my brokerage account and set in my LLC bank account. I don't exactly trust brokers.

    If you are in need of some good software progr, take me a pm and I will hook you up.

    Until we have a more bonded trading system, we need to keep our fingers crossed.
