Best platform for a CTA

S

SuperVolatility

I am looking for recommendation for best platform for an emerging CTA. My current executiton platform is Infinity and Sierra Chart. I love both but each have drawbacks.

I appreciate Pros sharing some info:
-What/Who is the best broker from FCM/execution stand point?

-Which/broker is recommended as Introducing Broker (perhaps a firm with larger client base? well known??)

-Billing - who provides best billing so customers charged the 20% incentive fee and 2% management fee?

-Technology - best overall technical foundation such as good charts, flexible, customization/support, data feed?

-Pricing - tho negotiable including if have ECN membership.. Who would you recommend? Great thing about IB and Infinity you don't pay for data feeds separately unlike TS...

Thanks!

I have searched, posted on previously discussed threads and created a new post specific to platform questions.
 
I am a CPO, friends & family only. Futures only.

Quote/Charting & Occasional execution platform: TradeStation (subscription version + Brokerage a/c)
Backup Quote & Primary execution: IB
P&L calculations & reporting to partners: Homebrew java program
Day to Day Record keeping + Trade Log: Excel. Will expand the java program to get rid of excel. Low priority

Thank you.

I assume you have less than 15 clients or less than $450K under management?

That is correct. Aside from me, only have 4 limited partners. One of them is a special situation, so it's more like 3 limited partners
