By the way could you confirm the following contracts and their respective exchanges? FTSE Future (LIFFE). 1 tick = £5 E mini S&P (CME). 1 tick = $12.50 Dax future (Eurex?) 1 tick =? DJ Eurostoxx 50 (Eurex) 1 tick =? Thanks

I am no longer putting up with the high commissions of UK/European brokers. So I'm going to use a US broker to trade FTSE Future, Emini S&P and Dax Future. Any recommendations? I've got a shortlist of RCG, Infinity, Mirus, Global and Amp. Reputable firms etc? Cheers.

I've tride the Infinity demo and its great and the service too, they've been really helpful. Some reviews must just be wrong. Anyone recommend a good charting package other than e signal. I tempted by Sierra Charts.

Thanks for your help. I checked Infinity Futures on this site for ratings and it has mixed reviews so I'm not sure about them.

Thanks Jeb, just the sort of info I was after. I was also looking into Velocity Futures as they have quoted me $4.73 RT for E mini S&P and I get free data feed and free X-Trader platform and no minimum volume.

How strange they quoted me $4.73 the other day for 50 RT trades per month

oh, I thought Velocity were cheaper? $4.73 RT and that's for non subscription members

Does that market data package include level 2 depth of market for e mini S&P contract (and other contracts?)?

Thank you so much. IB were unable to answer this! So would you recommned IB for trading futures? What about Velocity Futures or Tradestaion? I've heard good things about these two.

If I were to trade the E mini S&P future contract future with IB, what would the fees be for the following: 1. Approx commission (on their website they seem to quote $4.80 RT?) 2. Platform and charting fees per month (I assume this is free) 3. Market data fees per month (looking for live...

Hi everyone, could you help? I am using Pro Backtester through IG Markets, which I think uses some kind of Easy Language or C#? Hopefully you will be familiar with this. So I really want to find out how to say two things and the user manual etc cannot help. How would you input: 1. If...
