Pretty sure they offer api's for every platform or for at least real tick and omni pro. They do not offer total view i believe.

You have to give them a call and they will fine tune your rates, that is what i did. I do mostly futures and options, their futures comissions are not as cheap as flash futures per say at 1.90 per side but the service i get combined with 1 account to trade anything i want is worth it.

I recently opened an account with BlackBoxBrokers. Just wanted to let people know out there who are dissatisfied with their broker to check them out. I can trade equities,futures,and options all from the same account. Also, the service i've gotten has been outstanding. The service alone is...

yea, losing 10 in a row is a sign to do something else. I ended up being able to fund $3k, keeping my mental stops around 10 points. I have decided trading on rate announcements and nfps intraday is pretty much suicide. Once i get a larger account and am able to pyramid into larger longer...

Spot forex is mentally dragging on me that is why i am making the change. 24 hour market and i'm on constant alert with the style i trade. Also, i focus on price levels and i really dont need a chart to tell me what is going on. I have a demo refco account which i've beed trading for a few...

to open is 2k, you do not have to keep a 2k balance once your account is open. All you would need in the account is 500 enough margin for 1 contract

I see your points, and they are valid. I did take a c++ class, actually just finishing up, i hate it to pieces. Computer modeling and backtesting of a strategy is a powerful tool but i prefer to roll with the price action rather than have strict rules. School wise yes i'm getting my college...

going with rml min is 2k intraday margin req for mini dow is $0 http://www.rmltrading.com/commissions/margin/requirements/

Well i do not share the same view. I have yet to see a "strategy" that is programmable to attack any market. Programming is all hype. The best minds of our time have tried to quantify the market. It can not be quantified, a trader has to have that traders sense. Just because i am in college...

Order entry is free, i do not need charts to trade, just real time quotes and quick execution. Commissions i factor in.

I grew $500 into 2500 trading forex. I do not enjoy the 24hr market anymore. I'm switching to the mini dow. This is my trading stake it is all i have. I am in college and $2500 is my only risk capital. Now be honest with 2500 i can survive 5 consecutive loses and still have margin to trade...

I believe 2500 should be fine after some research into the mini's. If a trader can not get 5/10 trades in the money he or she should do something else.

Yes, stake of 2500 is cutting it close, i'd pretty much have to bank on my first few trades which having to win being a bad ingredient in trading emotions. Other route is mini commodities where a tick is $1.25, i could trade those but comissions and sometimes non liquid sessions might get me...

I have $2500, 5k would entail me to take out a loan which is not a good idea. Eventually i plan to trade the trend and pyramid in but as of now i would only have enough to take a day trade. I plan to only trade 1 time per day, i get the general direction of the market and trade that way. I...

Trying to get a concensus here, what would be the wisest account min. to trade the mini dow. Is $2500 to little? I know 2500 is not enough to hold a contract overnight, so the begininng you could pretty much only day trade. I've heard 5k and 2500, what is the best choice?

The greatest math minds in the world so far can not quantify the market, so it is limited. But as i see it, people have made millions with simple math i'd say college level algebra should do it. If you want to sound fancy and go the LTCM (long term capital) route and use complicated mathy...
