I think that the healthiest approach in the evaluation of any trading system is to request a real live track record. The lengthier the track record the better. There are way too many academics, programmers, etc. who sell codes yet have nothing to substantiate their results besides the...

I am not sure what you mean by "compromising health" whether its anxiety due to volatility of equity or just stress of working and trading after? Either way, I hope you find a balance and health is above all!! In the event that may be looking for systems, I recommend this: Automated Futures...

I have a number of solutions for you based on some experience I have with TradeStation. If your code is written in EasyLanguage, you should try and trade with TradeStation directly. We are an IB to TS, and would be more than happy to facilitate you. We charge the same commissions without any...

No. It is not a lie, we have customers that did program on C# and are with AMP. Maybe @syswizard refers to the MultiCharts PowerLanguage which is removed and you need to purchase that separately(?). Also, most people are not programmers and use simple click and point features.

MultiCharts (.NET) provides full features. The Multicharts version allows programming, chart trading and DOM execution. The AMP version of MotiveWave is the Professional Edition, which includes most of the features and is free. The only things it doesn't include is the Elliott Wave, Gartley...

our trade analysis for the grain markets http://insidefutures.com/article/1768824/Short%20covering%20in%20the%20grain%20markets%20and%20last%20week's%20rally.html

There is a difference between the quality of the tick data you are receiving versus the latency of execution you are getting. This is where data feeds differ in execution from one to another. The latency also depends on your operating systems, speed and quality of internet, etc.

There are contracts on Eurex that the CFTC/SEC does not allow to trade in the USA, so the FCMs here do not carry them.

Each IB sets its own relationships with the FCMs. We have relationships with both ADMIS and Wedbush, and ADMIS does not charge more, neither do they want larger accounts from Optimus Futures.

We use ADMIS as one of our clearing FCMs. We use them for self-directed, Managed Futures and Block Allocation. If you need help with getting set up there, I would be more than happy to help while providing objective advice about their services.

Try looking at software like R Trader by Rithmic for ES, because it actually measures the time of execution from your machine to the exchange. Maybe a change of hardware and speed of net could potentially improve your execution.

Thank you for the recommendation. I really appreciate it. Yes, we have many options as far as platforms and data feeds because different traders need different solutions. Also, traders grow as far as their knowledge and may require different solutions then what they need now. I want them to...

Yes, in certain instances this could trigger compliance. For example, if you deposited funds and immediately seeking a withdrawal. Another instance is when you deposit funds but at the same times you never trade and make periodic withdrawals. However, if you trade and have gains, it would be...

You can trade only one data feed via one account however apply to a number of softwares if necessary. However, in the event that one data fails, we can promptly switch to another. This is a very rare occurrence.

We are an IIB, and AMP is our FCM. We will service you while using AMP as the FCM.

I would be more than happy to find a platform that is stable for you based on the markets you trade. Also, we can provide universal logins for some platforms that you can apply in case one malfunctions.

If you are looking at a sophisticated piece of software which is web based, try the new TT. Its is comprehensive and has really good execution. Clearly the team there has lots of resources to make this this product better and better over time.

Thank you for taking the time to respond with a lengthy explanation. But, just as an FYI, for a very long time many traders told me that they have to pay ICE fees while the FCMs I was clearing with did not implement such fees. I am not sure why this gap existed, however today they have caught...

We have been using AMP as a clearer and they provide good and timely support to our customers. We can provide the same cost structure.

agreed and it may have applied for some, but it was also an opportunity for some overseas guys to trade their hours. Also, It was not only TF that was affected, it was the entire ICE sector. TF was 115 and if a trader traded ICE commodities, it was a another $115. So the total started adding up...
