Someone show me a deal that is equal to the commissions (retail or prop) and has as good as short list and I am gone
 
Follow up to my post before. After over two hours of waiting to chat with someone I gave up.

Still have the problem with partial orders disappearing on the book trader and the price also disappears in the main screen.

www.globalfutures.com they are simply the best for futures in my opinion PM me for my broker dude if interested
 
thanks for info.
But!

when their comission is relatively low, the mandatory (if you don't generate zillion transactions per month for them) monthly fees for X_Trader are expensive (~$650)

rippoff!

i better stay with my IB account where I pay, say $2.13 for each YM transaction, without any monthly fees and with free datafeed (provided I generate at least shabby $30/mo comission in total)

or i'm missing something?

The problem with IB is they hire the low-wage illegal mexican construction workers and "re-train" them in IT

The same shoddy workmanship now translates into shoddy customer service.

The fact that they hire rhesus monkeys from the local zoo to "re-train" as their lead IT managers does not help either.

Add in the fact that the programmers are kept too busy putting pretty colors on the useless charts ( no one uses to begin with ) rather than debugging all the Java based garbage the above mentioned monkey-managers throw into every iteration.

Each monkey-manager is in a race to complete 1 million TWS revisions before the end of each year. I think their banana bonus is tied to the number of iterations they can kick out the door.
