    thoughts on commissions in futures

    Do you still have to use a broker? If so, who is the cheapest to use with CQG? I am thinking about using CQG Net. I thought CQG was just the platform and trading interface but you still must go through a broker and also pay the broker's fees. Please clarify. Thanks so much! Dina

    Soybeans v.s. dairy

    I definitely think that more people will become vegans or vegetarians because of this crisis. This has shown many of us how the government is lame in protecting our food supply. It's profit first, safety of the consumer is second. When we hear how the government is NOT protecting our food...

    futures prop

    Great Question, I have my series 7, 31 (managed futures), and 63 licenses but do not have the series 3. I did not know that I would need the 3, but I bet it wouldn't be hard to get. Thanks for your post and input. It is much appreciated! Dina

    futures prop

    I should add that I have corresponded with Redwood Trading. They were not open to me being a futures prop until I had a retail account with them at least a year. They also told me that futures props are not needed, since it is already a leveraged instrument. Dina:)

    futures prop

    I appreciate the correction! I must be speaking to the wrong prop firms! There have been a few mentioned in this thread, do you suggest I contact them? Do you know of any other futures prop firms? Again, THANK YOU for your help. I knew that there must be some prop firms that could help...

    futures prop

    I've also been looking for a prop firm for futures, but am having difficulty seeing the advantage of working for a prop firm. Since futures are already heavily leveraged, prop firms have nothing to offer me. If we were trading stocks, then prop firms can be very advantageous. I hope I am...
