alaron/J-trader

Hi,

also asked this in another thread...

Can anyone directly compare TWS & JTrader? Would be interesting to opinions about stability & speed of order entry...

TIA,
cosmic
 
Alaron also offers SR for trading. I might get $4.0 RT from them for eminis (which includes $0.5 RT for SR) which is not that bad, but I don't know how good SR is. Seems slower than Ninja Trader, for instance. I am testing it in a demo mode right now.

Any opinions on SR would be appreciated, particularly from those who used in on Alaron/Flushfutures servers.

BTW, a rumor has it that NT is going to introduce NT for JTrader. I don't know if this is such a good idea in the light of the rather lousy performance of JTrader as reported in this thread. Do you guys think that NT might help JT become a better platform?

I personally recommend RTS, failing that tt/x-trader. faster and over the long run this will save you some truly shit days.

Could you tell us more about RTS?

I use both TWS and J-trader. Sometimes my order in TWS can get filled but the same one in J-trader can't. The next version of J-trader called TradeMark is likely to be available in the second half of this year, according to PATS. Hope that can fix the problem.
For other platforms like Ecry, I am a little doubtful if they cannot gain enough market share like TWS or J-trader.

They are cheap for a reason though. I have no exceptional IT knowledge but I used Jtrader for about a year and found that, as a consequence of the garbled way that Jtraders 'gates' swapped communications i.e orders, with the exchanges, the program became shit in fast markets with feeds lost and order inputs 'stuck on send'. Obviously when legged up in some size, this will cost you your lunch money. This is something that the company is trying to fix but they privately admit its a real problem at present.

Sounds like the server you were using was over loaded by the clearing firm. I've had very good luck using the J-Trader platform.
 
Just so everyone knows we offer the following at Alaron:

- J-Trader
- Strategy Runner
- Alaronline
- Futures Dynamics Crossfire
- FFast Fills FFastnet Browser
- X_Trader

Thanks,
Jay
 
Open E-cry is an FCM
J-Trader is a 3rd party platform
TWS is IB's Platform

To talk about market share is not really the issue for Open E-Cry. You can get Jtrader at their place too.

If you want reliability, then re-consider IB.

TWS and J-Trader are Java Platforms.

Open E-Cry and TT's X-Trader are in the same class IMHO.
