    Carl Icahn moving hedge fund to Miami

    In the next decade, in my opinion, Florida will no longer be a retirement state. It's crains and construction from WPB to Miami. There will always be an element of retirees, but its not a cheap state anymore.

    Footprint Trading Platforms

    Both. Most of our guys use CQG and Rithmic over Sierra, so I am not sure at this point. CTS was once a solution for routing and execution, and it was a bit hard to set up. Now Sierra is promoting TT. Again, CQG and Rithmic work fine for us over Sierra, and I see no reason to switch unless...

    TT is 30 cents per side on their own platform CTS is 50 cents per side on their platform Please keep in mind that API feed over 3rd party (in the context of this topic) could be cheaper. For example, TT over Sierra is 10 cents now, and CTS was 10 cents over Sierra, I am not sure if it still...

    To make us feel better, billionaire proves they can be idiots too

    I see this nowadays all the time, where small companies would create something unique and bigger companies would come and create the same thing but have a limitless marketing budget. That gives the bigger companies the edge to further develop the product, and get more subscribers. So in the...

    Footprint Trading Platforms

    What people consider "good" or "bad" is based on the data they receive in their platform and their execution speed-in my opinion. Rithmic, for example, provides everything from the exchange beyond 10 levels on the DOM. The pricing you mentioned above is not in line with the pricing that I am...

    Why go pro?

    The consideration to become a CTA is not only cost but also creating a straightforward approach to show your returns in a balanced manner. You will have a disclosure document that customers could sign and acknowledge that they saw your monthly returns and understood the risk of the method...

    Best feeds for volume analysis

    If you are talking for Sierra: from all these feeds you mentioned I believe that Rithmic provides full depth on the DOM. CQG is also very good and shows good data and execution TT over Sierra is just for execution, and those who use it have to rely on Sierra's nonexecution data. CTS is also...

    CME Bitcoin Futures Now Average $370 Million In Trading Per Day

    Tood bad that the CBOE canceled their contract. It was a bit more reasonable in leverage (in my opinion).

    How to create automated trading with GUI based automating ?

    There are two main platforms I would use for automation: 1) Multicharts with Powerlanguage. This has been one of the better experiences I had when we ran systems for customers many years ago. They connect to Rithmic or Sierra for execution. 2) TradeStation but together with Inside Edge for...

    How to get more historical ES data into TOS

    You can try CQG or Rithmic in Sierrachart, Multicharts or Motivewave. I do not think that TOS takes external data.
