What I meant was unlike Forex, I need multiple platforms/brokers/data feeds to properly trade Futures.... Seems all-in-one solution is a dream in Futures business.
Yes, I mostly traded currency Futures including micro size contracts. I am a swing trader with multiple entries and exits. Not as convenient as Forex.....
Played Futures nearly for one whole year with 40K capital. I made some money actually but now I have decided to go back to Forex. Futures market is highly fragmented and far ancient. I never understand why I had to pay $15 for CME fee when I trade with AMP Futures while I don't pay it when I...

Only CQG chart is different from others. Am I being too picky? I'd like to avoid CQG charts at all.... See Gold 60M charts from various sources and comment from CQG team.
