Daytraders ONLY - Execution, Hotkeys, Setup ?'s

Quote from TradStSOX:

I was looking to hook up with Advantage, why exactly did you not like them? appreciate your detailed review.
Mirus and AMP seem to be perfect but very expensive and only for retail traders. A volume rate say for 2k rt's/month should not exceed 3 n change all in.

Call Dan at AMP. He was the broker I spoke to. He's also the one who handles high volume traders. 312-893-7700
 
Quote from DonKee:

You might want to consider whether your "set-ups" are realistically valid. By that I mean, can they be traded in a "real time" atmosphere?

I have found that there are a lot of great "mind" trades and set-ups, but a strategy must be executable.

It is possible to day-trade successfully at any of the firms you mentioned. Executions are just part of the equation that you need to consider when developing a strategy.

Would you mind expanding on this question? Would like to ponder it but want to make sure I understand what you are asking.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I'm a fairly successful daytrader and you have to have the right tools and support for a decent price to make it worthwhile. It's hard to find all three in one brokerage. I have been trading with Advantage and looking to leave. (just not happy there) Currently I'm looking at Mirus and AMP Trading. They both have great technology in their platforms as well as price however AMP may be a little cheaper. As far as support for daytraders I was really turned off by the brokers (actually I think they are clerks on salary) at Mirus. They just didn't sound confident as opposed to the guys at AMP which were very knowledgeable in trading and platforms, down-to-earth, real brokers!! I think I have found my new home.:)

Chopin, i too was thinking of moving my futures trading account to Advantage Futures in Chicago. I assume that is who you are referring to here. Want to use CQG as the platform. Would really appreciate an honest appraisal of your experience there. You can PM me if you don't want to post for all to see. Thanks.
 
Quote from nonlinear5:

From all the responses, I figured that the key to becoming a successful trader is to have hot keys. :)

no :)

1. Edge
2. Discipline
3. tools, comissions and other technical stuff

if you don't have edge and discipline, what advantage you have over "coin toss" ?
