    Is there an order type where one could create a SL to be activated on certain date ?

    If you trade Futures, you have a function like that on R Trader by Rithmic. you can specify the date and time of order release, down to the millisecond. I gave an example below for an order for the next 48 hours.

    Legal issue regarding trading for relatives

    You do need a POA over the accounts. The "broker should know" is not a way to get around this. Get a POA over the accounts, and then ask the broker for a Block Account so you can execute in one account and BackOffice would allocate the trades.

    Ironbeam vs. Dorman - Ironbeam = Phillip Capital ???

    NonClearing FCMs have Omnibus accounts with FCMs that typically have the seats on exchnages. Your funds, whether with a small or large FCM, are segregated. The smaller FCMs are a lot more lenient when it comes to margins, and the larger...not always. The choice between FCMs should be based, in...

    Where do I find average spread of all futures?

    I think the OP means the Bid/Ask spreads. @maxoptions Just list the Futures you are considering. You can't trade all the futures...practically speaking.

    Why have I never seen any offer of money manager here?

    Outside all the rules and regulations, it is hard to advertise to a crowd that wants to have total control of their funds and have their own idea of what they want to earn.

    How to prove I traded the account of my relative?

    You are more then welcome to call your FCM and ask them if you can just pass credentials around and then call the CME and get their perspective on the same matter. You are not allowed to provide individual credentials to your trading platform unless both you and the POA party have agreed to...

    How to prove I traded the account of my relative?

    Self-directed traders are not allowed to give their username and password to others. If you have a number of people who you want to trade for, then just approach the broker and tell him you may bring the additional volume of family and friends. If you build a track record under a POA, you...

    Broker with low GIVE-UP FEES wanted (OR a platform with order replication)

    First, you choose an FCM that has your order routing, and then you discuss with them which FCM you want to do the give up with. They will quote you a rate, and then you can decide if you want to use them. I suggest using a block account rather than any replicating software.

    Question about CME Membership

    Ah, great! I think that CME leases could evolve into a very lengthy discussion, and there is a part that I can address, costs, FCMs, commissions, etc. These pertain to you directly. However, there are issues that are legal that pertain to CME, that I do not feel comfortable posting because...

    Question about CME Membership

    @schizo we have helped a number of people over the years, and we make the process easy and we work with both the FCM and CME. Just to answer some of your questions: Yes, you will require an application for the lease, the CQG fees do not change and you be considered a pro for the market data...

    Which is worse: Losing, or opportunity lost/leaving $ on the table

    If you go through a sequence of losses, and stopped believing in your system due to doubt, and do not take the trade that could have made it all back, then it's the worst.

    I am not sure I understand what you mean by "what it is". It's a data feed you can execute with and receive data/quotes. Are you having difficulties as far as connecting the data to MC? If you fill out this page: https://optimusfutures.com/Platforms/MultiCharts.php you will get a two week...
