here's all the things about IB that suck: * data - (no tick by tick data, and no historical data) * charts - stop working everytime the do a new release * analytics like DOM, ect. - lots of features like the volume histrogram only work in a random manner, works on some days and not on...

a guy from Button Trader was nice enough to PM me........told me to take a look at the risk management section of the button trader reference guide: http://www.buttontrader.com/content.asp?lang=en&page=8 take a look at section 5.5 on page 167 Button trader has tons of risk management...

here is what i found on the button trader platform: before i create another thread about button trader, i'd like to know how these loss limits work if anyone has any experience with it, thanks.

avatar........come on the word futures isn't even mentioned on the entire site.........am i supposed to guess that they offer futures trading.......if someone is trading futures at avatar, please give us an evaluation, thanks.

6 point trading range today.......harbinger of whats to come in december........markets are tired after huge trend moves in indexs, bonds, oils, currencies, stocks in november.........i expect it to be a very range bound month......taking lots of days off.........or trading half days this month.

here is what i would like: * Auto stops on all trades.....IB kinda has this feature but its really not auto, you do have to manually enter the 'auto' stop. * Max position size restriction. * Restriction against averaging down. * Automatic liquidation of positions and account locked...

i was at dimension too for a few months............hated it from day 1.........blackwood is like the worst trading platform out there.........software issues nearly every single day.........the whole atmosphere stunk of shade with the lights turned off and shit......anyway i find it hard to...

i think it maybe the case because: 1 even the most pessimistic of loss estimates of 500 billion can easily be absorbed over 5 years. 200 billion is nothing in a 14 trillion dollar economy 2 when has irresponsible people ever been punished in america.....unless you're some kid in the...

steve - dimension is one scary place........you really trust those guys? that place reeks of shadiness........they should've filmed boiler room there.... i agree with you though nyc area retail futures traders need a place to trade.

do they all trade from home (if so that is kinda sad)? or are there futures prop firms in nyc? by prop, i mean retail prop not true (salaried) prop. there have been some threads created on this topic with mostly misleading, bs, or uninformative answers. does anyone know if vtrader...

i will cover the loss on your long positions if i'm wrong on this

IB SHOULD'VE BOUGHT QT AND DUMPED TWS.........BUT SINCE AMERITRADE BOUGHT IT IT'LL PROBABLY GO TO SH*T IN A FEW YEARS......STILL PROBABLY THE BEST FREE PLATFORM OUT THERE.....NINJATRADER MAY PASS IT IN A FEW YEARS THOUGH.

so it seems IB's data sucks because its not tick by tick -- if using ninjatrader as trading platform the data would still not be tick by tick, would it? and MBT's data deficiency seems to occur in fast markets and i doubt using ninjatrader would solve that problem either.

okay so far i think ninja trader is the best trading platform out there and i want to thank austin for the suggestion now as far as a broker/clearing/execution platform goes - since i only do futures and no overnights, i'm looking for: 1 highest amount of interest on overnight cash...

where's the link austin......as far as i can tell ninja trader is a trading platform not a broker........it seems similar to quotetracker but far more advanced.......i don't see the zenfire connection at ninjatrader.com.......who is your broker austin? as far as IB - i don't think its bad as...

i'm finally willing to drop IB like a bad habit.....so lets consider the alternatives: my favored alternative thus far is MB trading if you sweep overnight funds in MB to Reich & Tang you get a 4.34% compared to IB's 3.2 or whatever for the first 50k. does MB trading offer TICK by...
