    Best Platform to trade Eminis

    I am mainly a Eurex man myself but have been using TT X_Trader for the last few years and have dabbled with CME in the past (you do a lot of dabbling when you trade Germany at 3 am) I can only tell you what I see on this screen- like other vendors TT writes to the CME price feed and pull...

    Best Platform to trade Eminis

    CME has 5 deep for the es and nq no matter what time of day you trade them no matter what platform you trade on you used to be able to see expanded depth when they reopened at 345 but they turned it off again 6 months ago when the volumes continued to grow (all the depth causes some major...

    J Trader vs. TT

    Jtrader

    may as well throw out there that trading technologies has a trainer as well- I was using it thru Man group, but I think you can contact TT directly and they replay live data over the internet for the minis so you can practice trade the trainer I used was only 2 seconds behind the live market-...

    Jtrader

    TT is always seems to be on the cutting edge for electronic access to CME. I have traded them for other markets like Eurex, but have friends who say the big emini groups use TT. They play up their relationship with CME since they are chicago based firm and it seems like the volume that goes...

    IB versus JTrader platform

    Index Futures Options

If you want to see any prices the SP options are primarily traded still on the floors SP500 futures at the CME...

    Lookin to get started with ES/NQ's

    if you are just starting out I would recommend something simple some of the services like PFG etc are probably your best bet since they include software support, clearing etc. However, if you really feel like this is something you want to do full time- then it is crazy to continue to pay...

    Hot Keys - Trading Technologies

    I've been trading Eurex on TT for the last 16 months I primarily trade using the mouse, but when last year I played around with a joystick on the system. TT has some keys mapped, like ESC for delete all, F1 for buy offer, F10 to sell bid etc. I mapped the joystick to those keys and it worked...

    The best platform for futures?

    When you say anybody can beat a Globex terminal that means anybody can beat GL. GL is globex. At least the CME had enough smarts to hire a company that makes front ends. Technically speaking CME's front end is called Globex trader which is powered by GL Trade. However, the Globex trader...

    Trading Plaforms

    I've been trading with XTrader for the last 14 months and they actually have a simple marketmaker feature in their system. Reminds me of the old Globex marketmaker tool. Very easy to use and can be manipulated with mouse or keyboard. I think there is even a picture on their website- good luck
