Though I am actually a Photon trader user, I have cleared my business through FuturePath for many years and know them all well. They DO offer Ninja - Rithmic through several FCMs...you do not have to go through Vision if you do not feel comfortable with their financial situation or regulatory...

I was under the impression that Zenfire has been white labeling Rithmic's software all along......I wonder what will happen to Zenfire now that Rithmic is no longer supporting them....

This is interesting - I just checked out the current WindowTrader and it is identical to what is on the Photon execution software. It is the exact same product...! I don't know why they are charging so much more for the stand alone version....at least with the Photon platform you can placel...

I have been using Photon trader which now has market profile and you can execute off the charts - bar charts, tick charts, market profile, or expanded broken out profile showing volume at price...etc./ It took these guys awhile to get this out on the market, but the wait was well worth it. I...

I have been using Photon for quite awhile now. It is the least expensive with no per side hidden transaction charges and in my opinion, by far the fastest and most reliable. I also use IB for my stock and options trading but Photon is superior to IB when it comes to Futures. I dont think...

I am an investor in her Granat Fund. I don't know what her current AUM is, but she made me 27% after fees last year. I know the fund has a 500,000 minimum. No doubt you can check out the stats in Barclays or any of the hedge fund data base companies.

Add RAM. Tradestation needs a minimum of 2 mg RAM. I run it on 2 year old Dell, similar specs with two mgs and it runs fine. I have found that the latest version (still listed as beta but you can download it off their site) 1554 runs cleaner and faster then version 1419.

I have been using Photon for the past few years and clear through Man. (FuturePath is the IIB). They just released a new version of Photon in December that was written in DotNet. It does use TT's servers on the backend, but TT has acknowledged that FuturePath's TT servers are faster then TT...

Ned Davis's work shows that the price of gold is most highly corellated with real interest rates. As real rates decline, gold has historically risen. Both equities and some cash commodities were in part fueled by an unprecedented expansion in credit over the past 5 years. Now that the...

oversold market, some short covering, as well as the increased volatilty and ATR make the move feel even bigger. Market is still in the middle of a trading range that has been forming at a lower level.

First, cut back your leverage. When my size is too big for the market's volatility, I make unforced errors. When I cut back my leverage in times of turbulence or abnormal price behavior, I can ride out the intraday noise and occasional heat. Keep in mind, a number of these black box "market...

Oversold market, partly short covering, and volatility and ATR had greatly increased several weeks ago so the move feels even more extreme. Still in a trading range forming at lower levels big picture.

I know your original post is a year old, but if you sit tight - these guys are working on a new release that will include bar charts as well as the ability to EXECUTE off the charts and trail stops and so forth (way cool) that will be half the cost of this current version. I believe it is...

If you are a small scalper with not too high of an activity level, most all of the execution platforms can do a reasonable job these days - it is more what you feel most comfortable with. However, Photon is THE fastest execution platform out there available to an individual. For those who are...

I have been using Photon for 5 years. Nothing else comes close. However, I would recommend contacting FuturePathTrading, instead of Man if you are interested in this platform, since FuturePath is the one who owns it and can offer lower rates then Man. It is a shame that FuturePath does not do...
