I can help you with this, 250k roundturns = 500k halfturns ...

JackRab, if you prefer contracts... ok, he did up to 500,000 halftrips a day. Paul often did 100-150 trades per day, his clip size was usually 1000-5000 and even more on Bobl and Schatz. They called him the Flipper for a reason...

Yes, Paul Rotter, the Flipper :-) He was probably the largest trader on Eurex before other big traders like Harris Brumfield from the USA started to trade size on Eurex.

Paul Rotter (the Flipper) was doing 150k to 250k roundturns per day in Bund, Bobl and Schatz. But this was like 15 years ago. Times have changed. It WAS possible to trade that way. Today you need a different approach to the market.

This was 10 years ago, times were different then for the (futures) prop traders. I would say today there are very few individual prop traders that are trading anything near that size. I see many trading 5, 10 or 20 a clip, a few maybe 100. But 1000s... dont think so, time of the Flipper has...

@aetrade I dont have too much details, I never traded with any of them. I decided I prefer to stay completly independent. TTG for example does not provide backing of traders. All traders have their own funds down. But as well as individual traders at TTG, they also have groups of traders, some...

Quenta, I have exactly the same positive experience like you. Baastian was always ultra supportive on the chat. But also the other employees at Tradovate always answered my emails within VERY short time and always with detailed feedback. Even the Tradovate president, Mr. Ryan Hansen, answered...

Hi aetrade, if you live in Europe or if you are willing to move there, you can still find many futures prop trading companies in UK/ London and also a few in other countries, for example: - Tower Trading Group, London, I think they also have offices in Essex, Dublin and Gibraltar. They also...

If you trade at least something like 200 roundturns per month, then I think you wont find a better offer than Tradovate. This is the first retail broker so far that I have found that gives you the opportunity to trade EUREX contracts like Bund and Bobl for less than 1 EUR per roundturn. If you...

@whitewater2828, who is that broker, is it Transact Futures ?

Excellent post, tiddly. Thanks for these information. Lets just continue this thread with constructive input like this. We will all benefit from it.

Lol ! :-)

@J_S Like I said, you have a very different perception of reality. Interesting, but I would suggest this is not the right place to discuss it. @all Lets please keep this thread on topic for questions related to Tradovate. Healthy skepticism is also welcome, but please keep the bashing and bad...

If that would be true, this would be really a sad world. I dont believe it is like that :) But as I said before, I believe you and me have very different perceptions of reality.

J_smith, this is not very friendly, but if that is how you want to act, ok, it is your decision. All I wanted to share here with fellow traders was and is a great opportunity for serious traders. I enjoy to encourage good people and good companies. There is enough negative thinking in the world...

I hope I did not offend you with any of my posts, if yes then I am sorry, that was not my intention. I just believe there is a healthy level of scepticism, and then there is something that goes beyond what is reasonable. You can suspect something bad and wrong in each and everything. Do you want...

@Tradovate, it would be a beautiful trading world if the spread of the CFD brokers would be just one tick. The reality, and I am talking about the brokers with the tightest spreads now, is more like at least 2-3 ticks for a ES_cfd and 3-5 ticks for a CL_cfd. Still ok for some medium to longer...

CBC and J_Smith (aka "team conspiracy"), if you want real proof why not have an eye on the orderflow of your broker by yourself ? Since you are all about security, I am pretty sure you both have backup brokers available. So you can always open 2 DOMs and 2 T&Ss of 2 different brokers side by...

@CBC, 1st, your fills will not be manipulated because of this, they still go directly to the exchange. 2n, the form you attached is for corp. accounts. Do you want to open a corp. account ? 3rd, this is nothing Tradovate specific, this is a Dorman document, since you are opening an account with...
