an ecn And IB isn't being considered here. They filter their tick data too much and you have to fork over a grand to buy Ninjatrader, instead of leasing it for $60 a month.

I want a ecn forex broker that works with Ninjatrader. Looks to me like I have a choice between MBT and PFG. Anyone have any experience with these two choices? Thanks

Thanks for the info folks. Sounds exactly like it was eight to ten years ago. It was insane getting quotes and fills even when I was calling the floor. I think I will pursure other strategies.

Thanks for the quick replies. Any brokers you would recommend that have access to these quotes?

I am considering trading futures options spreads again (I did that about ten years ago). I was wondering if any of the firms have electronic quotes or do you still have to go to the floor to get bid/ask on spreads? Thanks (trading most markets except the stock indexes)

CMS has been very slow during high market volatility for me: ten minutes one time to know my fill. They do honor their stop losses well though. I would just never use them again during fundamental announcements.

I was wondering if anyone was using J trader with Ninjatrader at Global Futures and what their experience was. Reliability, speed, customer service, commissions for es, etc. Thanks, frogy

Try MACD: 1,50,1 Use one as the first MA, 50 or whatever you want as the MA, and 1 and the smoothing average. Then draw a horizontal line at 0. Seems to be what you're looking for.

I tried CMC, but their platform was very buggy and crashed constantly on my box. frogy

Anyone using a broker/dealer with a 3 pip cable spread? Preferrably one that has either mini or flex contracts. Thanks, frogy

Thanks late apex: just what I was looking for. frogy
