    Retail futures broker that offers trading of CME bitcoin futures in an IRA?

    Retail futures broker that offers trading of CME bitcoin futures in an IRA?

    Was this for day trading margins? Keep in mind that CBOE no longer offers Bitcoins, and the CME margins are very high. The numbers above do not seem to synch with industry.

    I am ready for you at any time. Yes, Rithmic would place orders on the exchange, and as far as I know, the RithmicAPI + can place the entire bracket server side on the exchange. Also, we do support Multicharts along with their team in the event we do not know a variable. All the best, and I...

    ES/NQ Trading - looking for solutions

    You should. But, not only because of Margins, but because we can hook up your Multicharts to Rithmic for order routing and send it directly to the Aurora Center. We could potentially improve your speed of execution.

    Poker player moving to trade/advise please

    To OP: If you sat around poker tables long enough, you were exposed to certain "personalities" that have a similar pattern of behavior. You can identify their thought, habits, and their game. What you probably noticed, is that you have amateurs who play against all the rules of logic and...

    I'm out

    Without getting into an essay, I would tell you that there are those who are fascinated with the markets, and they speak of the market in terms of the potential it has, they are drawn to high leverage, believe that successful traders are constantly consistent, and through their career they jump...

    I'm out

    I truly respect what works for you. My sample is the people I have come across in the last twenty years. I would still insist that they do not fit what you describe in this thread. Their outlook on trading is just different. Again, this is just my experience.

    Copying CTA's orders in another account

    I run a small portfolio of CTAs that I trust, and I trust the customers that are with them. Within retail, there are many types of traders and each broker attracts customers that share a certain value system. I can only speak for myself, but my guys just want a decent return and not "copy"...
