Yes, you can trade directly from the chart with Strategy Runner. You wouldn't need to pay exchange fees to view live futures quotes/charts. No problem on the FTSE...the AEX index, I'm going to have to inverstigate and find out if this is available on Strategy Runner, or can be made availble. Wheat and Sugar would certainly be availbale to trade on Strategy Runner.
However, Strategy Runner does not have a feature to trade options. We would have to find a second platform for you, or you could phone-in your option orders which a lot of our clients do; especially for pit-traded options. Our order desk can get a live bid/ask quote for you and help you calculate the premium, etc.
I can't get into specific quotes with you here. We do not post our rates, but I'll do the best I can to earn your business.
If you are new to trading futures I'd also like to take some time and talk to you about the risks of trading futures, the dangers of leverage, and make sure this is suitable for you.
Please give me a call or email and I'll do my best to assist you in any way I can. My hours are from 6 am to 2:30 pm Pacific Time.
Hope to hear from you.
