I've read on other boards that they pull results out of their scanner software making it look better than it is. I've seen too many negative things to consider giving them the kind of money they want.

There is definitely a difference. I have TOS, Ninja/Zen and Lightspeed. Even in normal volatility there is noticeable difference between TOS and the other two so you can imagine the difference when there is higher volatility. I like TOS because of it's options platform, and the emergence of...

I was logged in all day.

FuturesBroker.com as low as 3.50 with NinjaTrader. 5k minimum deposit. FCM is Clear Chicago Group. Much lower margins too.

First of all, secularism is a religion as defined by the Supreme Court in various cases beginning in 1941 and the current dictionary affirms the same thing as all beliefs pertaining to origin, meaning, morality and destiny require faith because science will never be able to explain them...

You really should open an account with a futures firm if you're day trading futures. Browse the brokers page. It really depends on what you want for commissions, margins, support, etc. If you just want the data, you'll likely have to pay for it. There are some brokers like OEC who don't charge a...

You really need to search through the prop firm threads to learn more. This is all discussed ad nauseum. There are true prop firms and there are arcade shops. The true prop firms offering paid positions are few and are going to be extremely hard to get into especially right now. You have...

Basically, you have no edge and you have no setup that works so it's understandable that you don't trust it. I'm still curious why you were trying to nail the reversal entry. Was it to keep a small stop because you can't afford a bigger stop loss? If so then moving to the bigger time frames...

You need to define before hand if it's a high probability setup or not. You'll increase your odds greatly by learning support/resistance and having patience once you have a setup you that have better than average confidence in.

Unless they've improved their data service I don't think they're suitable for active futures trading.

doesn't look like lightspeed has a dom, right? I wouldn't want to trade futures without it.

Tradestation margin is full both day and night, the op will find cheaper margin elsewhere.

Considering the greeks, how do you automate options trades and get decent fills?

OEC doesn't have the lowest margins the op requested. If you keep esignal for charts, Velocity will offer you everything else you requested. Mirus also has low margins and reasonably cheap commish. You could look at Advantage Futures, Dorman, RJO, etc but they likely won't have as low...

I'm looking at using Ninja, wondering if anyone has actually compared the feeds?

great for stocks. While their commish's may be cheap their platform isn't optimal for futures or options.

Tradestation futures clears through FCM R.J. OBrien and it is possible that a FCM could go down and not the brokerage so in a case like this one would have to consider both the brokerage and the FCM I suppose. In the case of OBrien, they've been around since bout 1914 so I would guess they're as...

As for your question about news, many brokers offer Reuters for free so I don't really consider them that crucial. If you're trying to play off of news then it will have already happened by the time you see it on Reuters. I know that Tradestation offers reuters for free, and they offer an option...

What windows did you have open on Ninja? Any charts?I also use NT.

Rice, thanks. How much do you use it and how quick do you go through the 5gb limit?
