I have a ilink session but it is not fast enough. thanks for the info

Ok thanks, so, if I am using TT with my dedicated server in Aurora to trade CME futures, what are you suggesting to improve speed? (Build my own platform and directly connect to the CME matching engine?)

Why automated traders more likely to use TT (vs CQG IC)?

As ballsofgold mentioned, AMP are good if you want to test out TT because of their transactional option. However, you will be charged a 50cent TTnet clearing fee which isn't capped. So, if you trade over 2400 contracts per month, it is probably worth looking for a new broker (assuming the...

there are lots of firms offering low day trading margins. Some offer less than $500 for the ES

1RT equals 2 contracts. If you fix the products you want trade, set tight limits, close positions before the close, the FCM doesn't hold much risk. So they will be willing to lower fees. Leasing or joining an incentive program makes sense.

For a few hundred round trips per day, most FCMs seem to offer 25 cents and some lower. But I want to see if know if 10 cents is possible for these volume.

Would it be possible to trade for 10 cents per contract with these volumes?

It would be possible to do what you have described on thin markets. Some options have no quotes. No market maker or any trader is even looking at them. On those markets it would be easy to trade at strange prices that would benefit one participant over your grandfather.

It looks like the ES volume for Dec14 is over 5 times larger than the volume for Mar15. If you deduct the volume generated by the futures roll, the difference would be even greater. This means that day traders should still be using the Dec14.

Some traders may require 4+ large monitors. It depends on the number of markets, expires and style.

Q1. Delta is zero because the strike of the straddle is 78.57. Q2. Correct

@mmt: You can go 2 routes: you can open an account with Dorman through an introducing broker, like Ninjatraderbrokerage. Then you can trade as little volume as you want and still get ok commissions. Or you can open an account directly with Dorman. They will do this for you, but you will probably...

What kind of volume do you need to do to open an account with Dorman?

Would like to hear if anyone has experience with this firm. Thank you in advance.

Yes, it looks like a foreigner needs to register a Chinese company to trade Chinese securities.
