If you are starting out and wish to have less leverage, it could be fine. However, lack of liquidity in any contract does not make it a viable trading instrument. This is just my opinion.

CQG data feed offers This data as well. Maybe it's worth having a backup. Just a suggestion.

Micro is practically illiquid on the CME.

No, more commissions, the guy was right. You can have low day trading margins, but if you wish to hold overnight and you do not have enough margin, you would have to liquidate and then reestablish on the new session.

Could it be a regulatory move? Just like you cant have a Broker-Dealer along an FDM, maybe there is a certain risk you cant take with your Futures side. Just a thought.

Here are the specs for the FANG Futures we created. http://www.optimusfutures.com/tradeblog/encyclopedia/nyse-fang-index-future-contract-specification/ I appreciate the feedback you guys have on this contract. Puts me in perspective what traders both Futures and Equities seek in a contract.

Three-Month Canadian Bankers' Acceptance Futures (BAX) SGX 10-year JGB Futures Ten-Year Government of Canada Bond Futures (CGB) I hope this helps.

I think that you are correct on this one. Some FX Cash guys who have tried to move to Futures or Currency Futures realized that CME margins are way too high for them. Most accounts were very small, yet used to leverage that we simply do not provide in the Futures arena. In Europe, they have...

Are you looking to copy one's method and follow it, or a platform where you look to build one of your own?

I would not say that. We just have more experience with C#/C++ with Rithmic. We have received very good feedback on that. CTS FIX API, on the other hand, has worked well for some of our customers.

I would try for C# and C++ Rithmic. If you are trying FIX try CTS API

We can use TT, CQG or MarkdeDelta that are web-based executions that you can use on apple. If you are looking for core cations applications that are native to you Apple then you can use MotiveWave or QST.

Understood. There are many options available to you, such as the new TT. This could be used as a desktop or web-based. Would be more than happy to explore that or alternatives if you gain contact. In General, this is what we offer: https://optimusfutures.com/Futures-Trading-Platforms.php

Would be more than happy to a accommodate a 5K. If you tell us which technology routing (not platform) you used before we may do it via a free platform. I guess it was either CQG or Rithmic.

There is no free data for live streaming CME ES or NQ. But, it's just $5 for GLOBEX if you are a non-pro and have a funded account.

Indeed. Maybe an extreme example of success, but nevertheless, look at Bridgewater. Ray Dalio started from discretionary research, progressed to mechanical, and now utilizes algorithmic decision making. A prime example of how a firm should run and evolve with the times.

I think this is a great question. You can use traditional tools, nontraditional tools, quantitative, statistical, contrary, etc. People can poke holes in each of the above methods as far as their value, and the most common advice provided is what not to do. I find that those who know how...

I suggest that you finish your research. Then, decide on the language that best suits your logic. Then decide on the platform that best suits the language. You may find that a direct API could work better than any platform.

We did something very similar Essential Candle Stick Patterns
