I suggest you try EUREX for your late night trading. Good choice of instruments (FDAX, FESX, Bund, Bobl...), great liquidity and very low exchange fees.

Which country is Bitdefender from ?

Algofy, the edge is thin, but not THAT thin. This was just a reply to your comment that what I wrote was nonsense and to correct you in your believe that CME bonds offer the best cost to tick size ratio. Even if the edge is not that thin that a 0.5% difference breaks it, I prefer 0.5% in my...

@robert: Thank you for that info. I will contact them. @algofy: you must use different math than me. Bund/Bobl exchange fee is 0.20 EUR, tick size is 10 EUR, so you pay 2%. ZB has 0.80 US$ exchange fee, tick size is 31.25 US$, so you pay 2.56% which is WORSE than 2.00%. @propwarrior, do you...

Dear Robert, thanks for the input. For my style of scalping, I need a very low cost structure, or I will not be net profitable. This is one of the big advantages on Eurex. Exchange fee for Bunds and Bobls is only 0.20 EUR per contract, for the FESX 0.30 EUR per contract. In contrast, the...

Hi, are there any good prop trading firms or arcades for (remote) trading the emini left in the US or somewhere else in the world ? My focus is still on Eurex products because of the low exchange fees, but with the possibility of FTT coming in Europe soon I am thinking of switching to the...

Maybe a sloth, for just hanging around and doing nothing (typical Eurex morning): Or a chameleon, one step forward, one step back (typical emini morning):

Many MT4 brokers will allow you to open one or more demo accounts that run for unlimited time. Or you can open a live account with them and just credit it with something like 10 US$, thats ok for most of them. You will then have unlimited access to all the market data, charts ...

Mtrader, you are 100% right. What I wanted to say is that traders that hold longer CAN trade smaller size because they go for larger moves. Scalpers need to trade relatively large because they just go for a tick or two. A scalper is limited in the possibility to scale his trading up. You can...

If he just wants to get familiar with the markets, charts and some basic algo trading he might start with Metatrader, especially if he is not a US citizen. He could open a demo account with a CFD broker or a micro account and have access to all major markets, charts and MQL4 and EA for algo...

Tradovate. Here their RT fees (total cost) for some products I trade: Eurex (in Euro): FESX 1.1 FDAX 1.5 FDXM 0.92 FGBL 0.9 USA (in US$): ES 2.54 NQ 2.54 ZN 1.7 ZB 1.8 6E 3.4 CL 3.1 GC 3.1

propwarrior, for illustration I just made a picture of a Eurex calendar spread (FESX, september-december). Pretty thick market, lol :)

Wrong, Eurex exchange fee for Bund/Bobl/Schatz is still 0.20 EUR per contract, no matter if you are exchange member or not. So you will still have to pay 0.40 EUR per roundturn and of course you have additional cost per RT, even if you run a company with large trading volume. I think you could...

Mtrader, it depends on your definition and preference of and for trading. You are a trader that wants to know and maybe knows where the market will move within the next at least 15 minutes. Me for example, I have no clue where the market will move, but I enjoy fast scalping, position myself on...

True, makes a big difference for example if you pay 3 EUR per roundturn in Bund and Bobl or if you pay 0.70 EUR. With 3 EUR per roundturn it is/ was impossible to scalp in the Bund/Bobl/Schatz fly, but if you pay less then 1 EUR it starts to make sense.

No problem :-) I know those numbers sound unreal, especially if you are used to today's markets. But it were different times, and Paul was the biggest trader on Eurex back then.
