There were some news that that CBOE may carry this contract, but I am not aware of a specific date of launch. I assume it is pending CFTC approval. If this happens it would allow you to trade the product via a regulated exchange.

Mini and Micros have issues of liquidity on many contracts. Your size maybe smaller, but risk of higher slippage and inability to get filled is higher.

You are welcome. Unfortunately, I can not provide a written procedure because each FCM has it's own procedure when it comes to POAs, etc. Further, some may require a CTA exempt registration to get compensation. My suggestion is to approach your FCM and see what is their procedure for such...

We would be glad to help X-Trader guys and the New TT

You can ask for a Block Account and direct the back office how to allocate the trades. There is a certain way of allocation logic you need to follow in order to be compliant.

I believe that Order-Places-Order (OPO) by CQG Q Trader do not apply to synthetic spreads, rather applies to the commodity that you trade on. This seems to me more of a contingent order where if one order gets filled, it will place additional orders on the same commodity, not another one.

I would be more than happy to work with $10K account.

Different traders have different perspective about authors. In reality, all you have to ask the same question about any book, seminar, mentor, etc. "Can I take the elements presented and develop a coherent and simple method to trade?" Many times (sadly) the answers would be no. If it is a yes...

Dan, I truly think that you should test your strategies on both MCs and determine what works best for you. ( We can provide MC.NET for free if it helps). That way you can have the confidence implementing a long term strategy. Since you want to see all your working orders, I recommend using the...

I believe that NQ/ES is a synthetic spread so it will not take regular exchange order types. You can manage trailing stop via an algo based on ADL or AutoTrader. Basically you need to create logic to manage this spread on AutoTrader via If/Then conditions or build an Algo in ADL.

X Trader used to have a transaction model. It is no longer available to the best of my knowledge. Only the New TT is transactional. .

The issue is not brokerage per se, rather latency. You can have a difference if 10 milliseconds and have an entirely different fill. latency is not only a factor of your data feed but also your connectivity and the "burdens" it may carry.
