There are many companies running automated trading systems profitably. Today's big trading success often meens automation in fact. TradeBot is an example:http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/moneycenter/story.html?id=3498 Vlad Jovanovic's bot is an other example ...

10K to 100K? I think it's doable in 5 years. You definitely have to let your systems run while make a living off other things...

Hope nobody followed your advice at the time.:D :)

I've been to the CBOT list of agricultural futures brokers : http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page1/1,3248,1055+2+11,00.html I found that some random broker , http://www.eaglemarketmakers.com/uc.htm is proposing a 2.24 $ per side( they say 1.92 but exchange fees have changed ) This firm...

He might want to create his own fund now... As Nick Leeson said for his come back, " you can't imagine the number of persons that want me to manage their money". You have to lose big to be recognized:p For real, sad story when you think he blew his parents life...But he totally deserved it.

I think( but not sure ) that profitable discretionnary traders are close to a mechanical approach, even if they don't acknowledge it... They are not changing their setups every day. They have found a method that suited their personnality, and the "unmechanical" improvements are quite...

Hello, I wonder if there are some other brokers that provides worldwide access, especially to futures exchange? Just watching there first page map, I think they offer access to Hong Kong, Sidney, Tokyo... Is there some futures broker that provides Bombay, Taipeh, Dalian futures...

Thanks for the link. In fact, OEC was my former broker. I was trading YM at the time( 2 years ago ). I can recommend it : Good rates, good fills, good customer support... BYE.

Oh, not at all... I didn't thought that. Even if someone is teasing on me, I may not understand subtleties since I'm not american. Thanks for your informations, Giles.

OK, I just asked if there was some brokers that were significantly lower than others. I'm fine with TS at 6.06 RT. BYE.

Is it really free? It seems great.

I've made a thread on my forum ( sorry, it's in french ): lots of urls for free datas:http://www.autotradingforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=89 The best free data source I know is to subscribe to a Visualchart platform free trial:http://www.visualchart.com. You can download a great number american...

Sorry, I was thinking RT for sure.

I don't trade stocks but I think the number of missed fills is only related to your place in the book, and the frequency of sending new limits. For example on futures like ES, your limit buy order would never get filled on the low of the bar if your order has been sent only 2 minutes prior...

I'm new to ag futures. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you all. So it's difficult to get under 6 per side, right?

On electronic contracts, I think there is no fundamental difference among brokers. You buy at the current ask and sell at the current bid... Execution speed is not so important in my opinion. You just pay the bid/ask spread and slippage related to speed can be positive as well as negative...

Hello, I've been interested in trading electronic ag futures lately, and I would like to know what the best level of commissions you can have on CBOT products for example. I trade with TS with 3.03 $ per side at the time. Thanks for your advices.

High frequency trading, which means 5 + trades a day( to me ). I run different systems which produce about 100 trades a year each, so I have just a couple of orders sent every day. As you can read, It's not a good habit to let the platform run, but after several without a single bug, I...

TS is good for testing and the automation is reliable. You can go away for the day and watch your P§L in the evening as soon as your systems don't make too much trades. The execution with RJ O Brien ( TS clearing agent ) is bad and the customer service is not good either. Does TS provides...
