Customer service ? Margins ? Platform ? ... For a pure Futures Trader, there are much better options available than IB. But if you want and/ or need all the worldwide markets in one package, then IB is a good alternative.

Scalping by itself will never be profitable. Trading by itself will never be profitable. Just like any business will never be profitable by itself. Think about it. What makes stuff successful ? Is boxing profitable ? Is F1 driving profitable ? Not for me, and probably not for you. But wow, it...

You should learn that a single day does not mean anything, as long as you keep the losses under managable control. The year has about 250 trading days. Some of those will be exceptional good. Some will be exceptional shitty. Thats just the way it is. It is part of the game, learn to deal with...

One ES futures contract is more equivalent to trading something between 1000 to 5000 shares, depending on price of the particular share. Hint: calculate the nominal value of the ES contract to see what amount of money you are moving with just one contract.

You know there is a difference between the yield and the price of the 10 years ? Your chart is showing the yield over the years. It shows the yield rising steadily through the 60s and 70s, then peaking in the 80s during the crazy savings and loans crisis. Inflation rate and interest rates went...

For a small retail trader who does not alot of volume AMP offers very low rates. If you do at least some volume then I would suggest Tradovate with their commission free membership or again AMP with their 2K membership. If you do some serious volume (>10k contracts per month) then you can get...

For a long time I traded mostly FDAX and FESX. What do you not like about it ? Too little volume, lol ? FESX only moves a few handful of ticks on many days, but of course you dont trade such a market, the FESX, or a ZN, the same way that you would trade the FDAX or NQ. Thats exactly what my...

These days you need nothing more than ES, CL and NQ, like SimpleMeLike already said. Best example is today, I think that should be enough volatility, action and volume for anybody. But these markets will not always stay like this, it will slow down again, sooner or later. The action will move...

This site will help you to get an overview with which services you can trade through Sierra: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SupportedDataAndTradingServices.php I think there wont be many if any european options besides IB UK.

They are a subsidiary of Interactive Brokers LLC, but still a UK company. https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=47397669

You could use Interactive Brokers UK with Sierra Chart.

Sorry, my mistake, it seems you are right. I thought AMP Europe can offer the same platforms like AMP USA if you only trade futures. But it seems AMP Europe really only offers MT5. Do you want to use Sierra for order execution or just for charting ? Why do you prefer a European broker ?

AMP Global Europe

Thank you for the feedback. So a trader from europe can decide if he wants to open an account with AMP USA or AMP Europe ? Is the AMP cost calculator valid for both clients of AMP USA and AMP Europe ? Are special offers like 2K-membership also available for AMP Europe clients ?

Hello, I have seen that AMP has now finished the process of setting up its new european entity (AMP Global Ltd) on Cyprus. What will happen with existing customers at AMP Global Clearing LLC (AMP Global USA), especially clients from Europe, will they keep their accounts with AMP USA, or will...

For me, the shorter the time frame/ average time in trade, the better. I like it that way, it is fun, you have very limited stress, you can get very consistent results. But for another trader, it might be different. There is not THAT best way. There is only a best way for YOU. You can scalp...

OMG, these chart programs get better and better, look at those graphics, this looks like a molecular biology DNA construction tool :D Seriously, who needs this stuff, how does it help you ? I would not be able to see the forest for the trees with gimmicks like that.

You could run multiple instances of Metatrader on one computer. Same with Sierra Chart.
