Please tell Harris that he needs to give his product away. There's a pro in Brexit who wants free.

Not at all. I've personally traded plenty of power and nat gas swaps using TT. Not to mention beau coup Nymex and ICE futures. You were looking for free - which WebICE is if you register through them and your FCM.

Well that is a fact Jack. I started using TT in 1998. The OP was looking for free.

Why go through an introducing broker instead of directly with an FCM like Advantage, RCG, FCStone, Rand, etc. ? That's one more node in the ECN, one more risk check, etc. etc.. I mean, when you call the deep discount broker's desk for help, they're just going to put you on hold and call the...

OK, here's even harder maths. If you're doing 12,000 Round Turns per year in Nymex (your OP implies that you are trading Crude Oil Calendar Spreads) then leasing a Nymex seat for $500 per month and paying member rates would be CONSIDERABLY more cost effective than worrying about your execution...

That's right. And if someone is, as the OP suggests, swing trading Crude Oil calendar spreads, then paying $1 in order to execute a round turn calendar spread in order to capture, let's say, ten tics, is not an issue at all. In fact, I personally tell my own clients to jump all over the CTS-T4...

Actually, all the Energy Pros I know use WebICE. I've personally traded implied spreads through WebICE since the mid-2000's. Which is free - if you're qualified through ICE and get a username.

I have yet to see an Futures brokerage offering a free execution platform who had a Risk Department competent enough to correctly margin credit offsets for exchange recognized inter and intramarket spread positions. Maybe there is someone out there who does - please by all means make yourself...

And that is precisely why I suggested the specific alternatives of a Tier 1 FCM's 24 hour execution desk work your orders, or leasing a very capable platform that readily supports all available exchange spreads. TT is not your only option for exchange spreads - CTS T-4 has access to a much...

Do not ever ever ever again in your wildest dreams compare TT's futures spreading capability (and the exchange product suites they cover) to IB TWS. I've had both and I've used both.

Clear a very good Tier 1 Chicago FCM and use their 24 hour execution desk. You will be be charged $1 per R/T per contract for the service. I have a growing cadre of clients who choose to go this route and it makes sense. Some of these same FCMs will also lease you a platform like CTS-4 on a...

For us, and for our trading system, longer timeframe modeling has consistently shown well above 50% W/L probabilities for clients the past several years.

Please do not use the terms "predictive" and "certainty" when discussing trading and technical analysis. Unless you are engaged in an illegal activity, we are dealing with probabilities.

Oh, if you look at time&sales data from Bloomberg over time you can most assuredly see the advent of automated trade entries and dedicated ECN's - which indeed generates all kinds of short term turbulence. That is real.

What exactly is the purpose of all these different threads by the OP.

No I vehemently disagree. T/A works better on longer timeframes with longer trade holding periods. And that's a fact Jack.

I provided Google and YouTube feedback and a link to the CFTC ruling and complaint through my own personal gmail and YouTube accounts - could other members reading this post do the same ? Is there a more effective way to bring this matter to the attention of the YouTube and Google legal...

What is the purpose of this thread btw ?

Good riddance.

The "tic" size of the ICS Treasury Spread is published by the CBOT as the front leg (smallest tic increment) product. The quotation feature (net change from previous days settlement) is an artifact from the days of floor trading. That's a convenient way for CBOT to arrange DOM pricing, but it's...
