    CQG trader question

    CQG has great support. Email or call them. Are you using Trader, QTrader or desktop. “Trader” is very old software they do not update anymore. Desktop/mobile is their newer software.

    CME Chicago Test IPs?

    I don't really understand the service you are looking to provide. If any of our futures clients using a desktop or web-based software connect to the CME they do it through the software like CQG. Are you asking for the IP address that CQG uses for a US client to connect to? And, what would you do...

    Serious Question

    This does not come close to meeting the requirements of any investor, seeder or allocator I have ever met, unless they know you well from past business dealing.

    Serious Question

    Your namesake say it all. You need a verifiable Real Money track record running the strategy that you want to base a business around. If you are going to deviate into other test strategies, they should be kept separate if possible. If this is all backtesting, paper trading or an account with...

    Serious Question

    Until you trade it with real money for at least a year, you have no idea how to make future decisions. Trade it and keep granular details of your trades that are verifiable.

    Options vs. Futures, what's better?

    When to rollover ES ?

    The difference between trading deliverable commodities months is different than financial futures. You can trade them right up to the day they expire and be cash-settled. There is no reason to switch as a day or swing trader to another month unless your holding period will exceed that...

    Everything's correlated? :(

    Not my tech. Just posting. If you trade futures, the CME has a lot of free tech, worth a look. You just have to sign up.

    Realistic returns expectations of successful day trading

    I understand your comment. Return on a capital allocation might be an important metric to follow, but return on capital would be based on the account size necessary to run your strategy as most traders are not 100% all-in on each trade. And, when you scale, using 100% of your margin in a larger...

    Realistic returns expectations of successful day trading

    This is not only uncommon but not a healthy goal. If you have a $30,000 account, and you have those expectations, you will trade way to big. If you can target only $200/day net, 4 days a week, 50 weeks a year, that is $40,000/year. That would place you near the top of most traders. This would...

    When to rollover ES ?

    I find you ask questions without looking at all. Have you checked the CME website under ES futures and contract specs? It clearly lists the 5 months with a calender.

    US equities daily (+ adjustments)

    Those would be the two. Refinitiv cost less. Ask for a WebEx demo of each to view with a salesperson.

    Do hidden or Iceberg orders still show in T&S

    Yes. All trades need to be put to the tape from the ECN/Exchange/Dark pool you send your order to.
