With soooo many trading software firms around now, what are some of the criteria that you guys use to narrow your choices? Sometimes it appears that they all do pretty much the same thing, so what makes you choose one over the other? Just curious as to how others make their choices.

What do you guys think of this deal: These guys pay no salary, no draw,(trader is independent contractor), they scalp mainly OTM options below .75 and look to make nickels and/or dimes. After monthly expenses and commissions, trader gets 80%. Trader can work his/her way up to be 50 or 100 up in...

Well, most traders will probably never know what a "true" edge is because the trader who feels he/she has it will never be dumb enough to share it with the world. Until it doesn't work anymore of course, then it will be sold as a book.:D

Cool, Thats all I need is something basic with real "real -time" charting and if IB offers this within the TWS, thats all I need. Dont need a whole lot of bells and whistles, cuz I trade mainly watching order flow and pattern recognition, simple 2 and 5 min chart is fine. Thanks

Hi, Im opening an account with IB soon to trade ECBOT 30 yrs, I have read a lot of posts here and it seems traders use another charting service for their charts. Are IB's built in charts any good? I use mainly 2 and 5 minute candles. Thanks

Thanks a Lot!

Im looking to open a futures account. I will trade ECBOT 30 Yrs, 1 or 2 lot to begin with and I have heard great things about both IB and TS, just want feedback on which might be better for what Im trading. I have trading experience, so I dont need to interact with customer service or Brokers...

Hi, I just wanted some feedback from the folks who use TS8 to day trade Bonds. Positives? Negatives? Thanks

Im looking to open up my own trading account and trade via Tradestation, IB, etc (undecided), but my question is what market do you guys think is better to trade electronically on one of these platforms?

Does anyone know where I can get a list of most or all of the prop firms in Chi-town. I can show 6 figure profitability every year the past 3 years with W '2s and statements, but I dont want to use any of my capital (OPM is how I made money and Im trying to keep it that way). Im trying to find...

Nah, Im not with Refco. Im with a new start up firm. Thanks for the reply. I am aware of all the spoofing and BS in the markets. I trade the ZN (10yr) and the biggest spoofer in that is probably one of the Brumfields I am told.

For those of you who trade at prop firms where you have access to the electronic que in futures and mainly SCALPERS, do you guys mostly work the que position,or hit bids, or lift offers? I ask because Im trying to figure out which method has the most "edge" I know of one trader who gets in the...

Thanks. Would you suggest something like a "longterm day trade" if you will, where I make a couple of swing trades and hold for a few hours to take more out of the trade, instead of the get in get out, in, out stuff?

I am a bond trader who just started trading 1 lots. My question is what is a good profit (tick) goal in the bonds on a daily basis trading a 1 lot? I am a scalper and I know my size will increase as I become more consistent ( Im at a prop house), just wanted to know how many ticks is good on a...
