NO. I don't save or gain nor am I looking to gain or avoid loosing or not paying for anything. If I am theoretically long at 1800.00 and the market goes to 1700.00, then closing the position to open a new one at 1700.00 on the December expiry is not the same as rolling to the March 1800.00...

I am aware of IB being another TD like broker. It's the data feed that you don't have a choice with at IB. If that should change, they would be my next best choice. Thanks for bringing new light to a topic that has gone way too deep off track.

You asked me the same question earlier and I have already answered it. There's nothing radical or nothing new in what I am asking here which is, I can and have been able to do for quite some time in trading since I've been with TD. Is there a newer question?

NO and YES. I think the "thinkorswim" platform is lightyears ahead of the competition. Trading with TD you do not have to close out your positions, whether for a loss or profit, just because expiration forces you. Why do it if you don't have to? Is that simple. Is there something wrong with...

Is there no IB, FCM, etc., here willing to step up to the plate? TD Ameritrade must be loving it.

I did. A true trade scenario is given in reponse to Scataphagos and for anyone who believes this is all made up story. If you reacall last week's FOMC announcement on Wednesday. I was long on the ES from a few weeks earlier as the market began to creep lower and trade going against me. On last...

I was with Dorman/Mirus/Zenfire and their new technology BigTick before switching to AMP Futures/CQG due to constant service disconnects. CQG is solid as a rock whereas Zenfire and BigTick both proved to be less stable for my domain. I put out there what I was told are plans for Mirus from an IB...

You misunderstand my original question. I have no problems with paying commissions, etc., blah, blah, blah. Closing out an ES position that you may be long much higher than current market and then opening a new one at the prevailing price, let's say as an example lower by 80 points, is not the...

Other than TD Ameritrade (thinkorswim) I am find it very difficult to find a broker that allows you to roll to the same single future contract(s) from expiration to the next or calendar spread as it is the more appropriate platform functionality. I trade with TD and AMP Futures/NinjaTrader/CQG...

Anyone trading with a broker besides TD (thinkorswim) that allows closing off a near term, possibly expiring futures position, and simultaneously opening the same number of contracts in a further expiration month (calendar roll)?

I guess the argument is. Even if you are paying $9.99 at Ameritrade, they are still making you pay in other ways. They just screw you an extra 10 bucks. There's no reason you can't get a lower rate than $9.99 TD. Commissions/fees are always negotiable especially if you do a decent amount of...

This is the response I got from from an Introducing Broker I would prefer to keep anonymous: Zen-Fire will continue to work properly without any disruptions for Dorman clients. Zen-Fire will only be exclusive for Dorman IB's.
