CME Direct is free but not a good paper trading environment. I'm also not sure how long the will allow you the demo environment. If you are willing to pay a little, I think CTS T4 will let you paper trade with delayed data.

Maybe I was not clear. The question was,"Is there any software that can show hidden orders placed through ARCA ( and any other popular routes)?" My answer is Lightspeed Trader has at least one hidden route and I expect we have more. Is that better? Bob

With the size of your account, SIPC will cover your needs. Most Brokers also carry excess SIPC. If you want more protection, you can fund your account with 1 year T-bills. SIPC takes action on securities before cash. However, depending on your trading, this can cause interest charge. With $300K...

I see on our list of routes "NASDAQ Hidden." I, Bob, don't see the orders.

As far as I know, there are no futures dark pools. Their are OTC trades that trade off floor then print the trade on the exchange.

We offer a few, I see NASDAQ Hidden but I think this is a least one other, https://www.lightspeed.com/pricing/routing-fees/

One for each wife? We can do $10,000 USD on Web Trader but this software does not offer option spreads or DMA and you can't DT with under $25,000. He could do a Cash account with Web Trader and trade options from the long side. On WebTrader, minimum commission of $4.50 will be applied to any...

I disagree. Dark pools are not transparent. You have no idea what is going on and where you stand. I want my orders subject to price discovery so all can see and trade with my orders. I'm not aware of any price protection. If I'm bidding 45.01 dark and the best bid that is lite is 45.00, I...

Good luck!

6wives, I work for Lightspeed Trading. We offer foreign accounts for equites. options and futures starting with accounts of $25,000 USD. What do you mean by "How fast are their payments?"

Most of my clients use DMA to an ECN for limit orders and SMART for taking liquidity. I was never concerned with what you are asking about. I want to buy a stock at a price for a reason and that reason is not for the next 10 seconds. Some of my best trade were scale orders where I get filled on...

I'm not familiar with DAX futures. This is from a file I have on margin. Which one is this future? Wedbush Futures does not mark up exchange margin. For some foreign exchanges, we do need to use a carrying broker which can increase execution costs.

IMO, this is the problem. When an account is under funded, you set very short stops and exit trades for the wrong reasons. You can't expect to make money on every trade within 2 minutes. Sometimes it will go against you first. A well funded account can afford to follow a plan while an...

I think more is better, but if you are good, you can do quite well with 2 lots in futures.

We typically require $25,000 for a futures account. I might be able to do $10,000 but it would require permission. You would have to use RealTick to get our lowest rate of $0.60/side. Bob

Not IB. But if you were my client, I would have gotten you the answer! :wtf:
