Two bits...

1...I reckon you need to update this page?

"What are the fees for market data?
Non-professional traders will be required to pay (on behalf of CME Group) $15 per month for Market Depth Data for CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX. .."

Unless you are forgoing the extra $16 per month the CME now charges non-pros for the package?

2...

"Mailing address
Chicago Board Of Trade
141 W. Jackson Blvd.,
Suite 2600
Chicago, IL 60604"

Are you the CBOT, or are just located in their building?

Give it a refresh, it's updated. Thanks for the feedback on that. The Chicago Board of Trade is the name of the building we are headquartered in.
 
Hey there. Thanks for your post. You mentioned a full featured trading mobile app... I'd love to learn more about that. My needs are pedestrian, but there's no information on the site about the mobile app. Any way to try it without opening a IB account? Or find out more information? For reference, I almost exclusively trade on my phone. I currently use TOS, with some minor annoyances with it, but it seems full featured to me.

Sure thing. If you go here you can get credentials for a two week demo w/live data. You'll get an email with the download link or you can just search "Firetip X" in the app store. We are releasing some tutorial videos of the mobile app here shortly, I will post here and DM you when they are live.

Can you bullet point about Firetip X ;offer where it is different then Sierra,Multicharts or others
How is your DOM different
More...

There are many things that make Firetip X unique, and I'll list some that I think are worth mentioning:

It has its own dedicated direct data feed. It doesn't utilize any third party whatsoever. So your orders go direct to the exchange, and your OCO's or custom orders are held server-side at the Aurora data center where the CME GLOBEX matching engines are for low latency. When you have the quote speed set to the highest, it is completely unfiltered market data. The data is updated to your platform as it comes in, not in interval packets like most other providers/platforms.

It features real-time SPAN margining. So you can see your account's exchange margin usage including on futures and options spreads.

You can place orders outside of market hours so that they are pending before the market open, which helps with getting a favorable position in the order queue.

The DOM is very customizable with many column options, as well as the ability to plot indicators directly to the DOM. You can also trade on the DOM from the mobile app and in my opinion is very user friendly!

I see that deep discount futures has a Firetip platform, is it the same
More...

It is not. Only direct Ironbeam customers have access to X. The older legacy Firetip software is offered by many of our introducing brokers.
 
For those interested, we recently hosted a webinar with CME Group covering how the micro e-mini contracts have done since launch as well as some of the benefits of trading smaller sized contracts.
