    Have you heard of Generic Brokers?

    Sorry, I haven't been on here in a long time, but was looking for some information regarding another topic and came across this, so I am replying. When I stated "the additional transaction charges are the exchange and nfa, but no data or route fees", that is truly still the case. They don't...

    Have you heard of Generic Brokers?

    I've traded with them for a long time and found them to be pretty good for day trading futures. I used to trade options and had an account at Think or Swim, before they were bought out and that platform was great for options compared to Generic, but for futures their main platform for Windows...

    Zumo and Generic trade

    I still have an account at Generic Trade and do mostly Indices and Currencies - just futures. The platforms do not have as many features as Ninja or TT that I've used before, but for my kind of trading (100-500/day off of dome), their 'Generic Trader Pro' has worked out well for me.

    Anybody heard of Generic Trade?

    I posted in this same thread and I'm still with Generic Trade. Been with them about a year now and all is well. I've had months where I traded 2000+ contracts and months where I traded less than 100 (vacation) and have never been hit by any of the creatively named fees I've seen at prior firms...

    Daytrading firms that don't use Penson. Does anyone have a list or know a few?

    Do you mean for securities or futures? For stocks I use eTrade and have been reasonably pleased (but I don't trade high volume like I do with futures), but they use Pension for futures and you can't even trade from the same account. So if you don't mind using 2 different platforms I would...

    Brokers

    I'm still at Generic and all is well; really getting used to their platform and the data/fills seem to be faster than Zenfire, which is great. Anyways, here was my previous review. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=210634&perpage=6&highlight=generic%20trade&pagenumber=1

    HELP to choose FUTURES broker

    I posted a while ago about opening an account at Generic Trade (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=210634&perpage=6&highlight=generic%20trade&pagenumber=1) When I opened they were an IB of Farr Financial and Ironbeam bought them recently, so whatever funds they had...

    Who has the cheapest futures commissions, ans safe?

    I posted a couple of months ago about generic; been there since Sep 10 and still no issues. I use the Firetip and its as fast as any I've used, pretty basic but great for me - I'm doing about 100/day ES and now 6E. My buddy opened there with $2k and got the same rate ($1.18 rt); guess I thought...

    Anybody heard of Generic Trade?

    I opened with them a couple of months ago, I think they're pretty new. Anyways, they go through Farr Financial, which I've heard mixed reviews about, but so far so good. I've had accounts at IB, Mirus and MF and used Ninja and TT mostly. Their platform by comparison is more simplistic and not as...
