Long ago I instilled a habit of having separate brokers for certain assets. Earlier I tried to trade everything with one or two brokerage companies. At that time I thought that it was a rational approach, but over time it was getting harder and harder to make it come true. I found it an extremely exhausting experience to be focused on everything. It all resulted in a very unpleasant situation of losing control and in turn losing money. Since that time I firmly decided to diversify assets between different brokers.

With this broker, I trade gold and crude. I trade long-term trades on these assets only. I don't see any sense in scalping this stuff.
