I can handle full margins I just don't understand why they have stopped day margins. When currently 4-5 other ecn broker dealers in Chicago I know of currently offer from 500-1000 intraday margins for these index's. Because 1 person thinks there's a volatile situation doesn't mean another...

So you are saying running NT through IB's there was a problem? I have used it through zenfire and it works ok.But not perfect. What exactly was the problem with IB's? Do you know you can pay only something like $33 a month to get pure E-signal data into NT? Can you still execute the trades...

Well ive looked over NT for a few years now. Sometimes it has problems and errors but most of the time is ok. For automated trading it has the same risks as anything else. Even hosted IN the cbot servers it still gets d/c at times which messes things up alot. I have checked it using wire...

All the NY ones will clear through Chicago for ES. If you want direct clearing you need to use someone like RCG, Dorman or RJObrien. They are full clearing members. But you need bigger accounts 15k+. But you can find an introducing broker through one of these like MirusFutures or...

Well where would you take your business? It would seem they are all the same in the client regard. Even Chicago ECN's NY ECN's. All arrogant pigs. Even though some might be nice on the phone and hold your hand. None of them could care less. So where could you find nice people with low...

I was just opening an account to give these guys a try as an additional broker and you are telling me there is no day margins? For things such as ES ER YM? You have to be joking me right?

Yeah but you have to ask yourself why they are so cheap. I used AMP a year ago and they always lagged on fills and had connection problems with NT and it wasnt NT because I had it connected through another with no problems at the same time. I use NT and T4 through Dorman and Mirus(RCG) and...

Intraday broker assisted Margins are BS to say the least, brokers who use them are usually theives. CBOT sets the margins NOT the brokers. Ive spoken to many people who've used the small fake broker assisted margin only to not be able to get out by close and lose the lot due to the brokers...

Depends on your broker?Your kidding right?Its set by Cbot if they lower the margins to stupid amounts then they just taking your money. http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page/0,3181,2142,00.html 1 YM Initial is $2,813 Maintenence $2,250 if your broker discounts that then THEY are lending you...

Ive never seen a profitable strategy or system that can be packaged and sold, because it would seem the most profitable strategy that has served the test of time is the individual trader himself and his successful ability to follow the markets using everything at his disposal. Not one thing or...

RJO wants a passport? The woman told me other id is enough maybe she just lies. So does tradestation well that explains that. I put a complaint into tradestations CEO about the passport issue I guess its RJO that wants it.

Well I emailed them to ask where abouts on there site is all the things I want to know or if they could answer the questions for me. I got an email back saying to ring them up or go to www.ETRADE.com which wasn't very helpful considering I already emailed them from the main site. I guess you...

Well I still cant find a decent broker. It wouldnt seem there is any. Tradestation has wasted a week of my time trying to open an account making me print the forms and fill them out with pen and having them picked up via fedex? Only to tell me they want a copy of my passport? Ive had about 12...

147 trades and you still gotta pay for the platform I find that a little odd.Think of the commission they've made from 147 trades......

Limit orders dont always get filled.Ive seen many of them in my time go back and forth several times over the limit price and never fill them. Oh yeh I see what ya mean thats a good trick :p
