At Tradovate, you could select our Commission Free for $199 prepaid annually or $349 on a month to month basis.
The fees are only $1.34 per side. If you trade 2000 sides on the annual plan ($199/2000 = 0.0995), let's call it $0.10. Therefore, your average total cost all-in per side would be $1.44 or $2.88 per round turn. This plan is hard to beat if you are trading volume.

Yes. Typically the API is used for B2B integrations but we can give access to individuals for trading. Just email, technology@tradovate.com. Explain what you want to do with the API. We will then give you access to the repositories at GitHub for the API.
Go with Tradovate or Advantage Futures. Problem solved.
If leverage is important to you, you should be careful with Tradovate as they raise intraday margins often to half the full margin. Will cost you a lot of profits. I made the calculation for my trading and going to Tradovate would have cost me money, not saved money. During the elections intraday margin was for a very long time at half the full margin. Due to that deleveraging I would have lost more profits than the gains in lower commissions for the whole year.
Advantage Futures is too expensive too as they ask $0.60 per contract for 2,000 trades a month. I got an offer for 4,000 trades a month for $0.29 from a broker who is sponsor at ET. $0.29 for ALL the trades, not a decreasing tariff like Advantage Futures uses. Why should you pay $0.99 for the first 100 trades if you do over 2,000 a month? Does not make sense.

Ask Advantage to make a personal offer for you. They will give you something better than what is shown on their website.
