Hi, I would like to discuss this topic a bit. Has anybody thought about creating an online trading group in Europe in order to profit from this new lower commissions ? Some examples of new roundturn commissions : CBOT: YM: 2.84$-2.64$-2.39$-2.19$-2.09$ (VF is...

Hello, As API8 is bringing a lot of interesting new features, I decided to install it. As you may know, installing a new API generally means problems with software, in particular for those using TWS.OCX (the Visual Basic ones) as the one using direct socket programming are in general ok...

Chuck, If I want Forex brokers and IB at the same time, I will pay 2 times 39 usd ? Or do you plan to have a based fee + plugin fee ? For example 29usd based fee + 10 usd per plugins, that could make the product more attractive...(I still think it is too expensive for the very basic feature...

When will it be available for testing?

With TWS 820, API 7.6, they have more than a problem, nothing works at all. It can't get the symbol, got stucked looking for it.... If they release a version every 2 months I assume we will have quite often problems with IB data. I don't think the backfill is worth that much, I don't think...

I haven't seen anything new on this software since February, it is still too complex to install, supposedly priced too high (39usd when Ensign universal is also at this price level) So my question is just: has eSignal stopped developping this tool?

I have had the chance to try the eSignal End of Day service which cost 295usd per year so around 24.5usd per month. I was looking for a solution to download data in order to fill the gaps in my Tradestation 2000, that I usually feed with IB feed (mainly because Eurex feed on eSignal was...

On this part, on the other end, I don't agree. I think it may take a long long time until NQ & ES which are very active Pit contracts be threatened... On the other question, ZB&ZN: exchange fees are 0.3usd per side so do you own calculation. It will for sure be more interesting to trade it...

Poor guy. FFA support at IB is really bad. First for your customers you have to fill so many paper documents. Then when your customer wants to wire money, you have to do the job... Should I add that API are buggy and IB is working on fixes. So the only one who supports this is ZeroLineTrader...

yep thinking the same. But as CBOT was not supposed to offer EUREX products, maybe EUREX US will extend and offer future on YM, DAX and ESTX50...In this case, prices will drop.

IB won't lower their fees on bundled. But it will be lowered on unbundled fees (from IB management)

okwon, because I don't know them... Give me some names & website, either here or privately. I think in general prop future firms don't advertise. I found MacFutures by chance and probably don't know how many firms like this there are in London.

Yes but still 80% of backtraders there disappear after 2 years. Knowing you sign a contract for 18 months when you are a backtrader, this is a wrong choice for 8 out of 10 traders... But indeed working with own-money traders, I was surrounded with around 80 traders so this is still A...

What green card? Tourist visa should be enough...Trading is not the same as getting a salary every month...

I am a mobile guy, ready to go to USA if the deal is better than with MacFutures

Mark Do you also sponsor traders for CBOT membership (like you already do for CME membership) ?

No don't think so, this has been the commission plan for a while already...

Hi, I would like to get some comments from traders trading from VelocityFutures offices in Houston.

Right now they offer ZB/ZN at 3.95usd per roundturn and it includes the 1.8usd exchange fees (0.9*2) So if the exchange fees go to 0.3*2=0.6usd that is 1.2usd saved and so the commission would then be : 0-4999 $2.75 5000-9999 $2.60 10,000-14,999 $2.40 15,000-19,999 $2.20...

Will Quotrek be free for eSignal users ?
