People wanted E-Gold, so WHC added E-Gold. There might be security measures for E-Gold that WHC could have done better, but they were trying to add services to meet demand. They do apparently have other safe funding methods.

I just wanted to be clear what type of broker and position WHC had, because I need an ECN. I might end up using WHC in a few weeks because they offer so many instruments for trading (I was very impressed at the multitude of data).

I'm going to make a recommendation again: don't use MT4 for news trading, regardless of broker. The server side architecture and order flow isn't designed for it. Go over to an ECN for your news trading, use MT4 for technical trading and automation.
