J-TRADER vs. TWS

L

larrybf

Lets put commission costs aside for the moment . Does anyone know which software executes futures emini trades faster?? TWS has hot keys to speed the order execution process.Does j-trader have any unique features to aid speed and ease of order entry??
 
I use both every day.

With JTRADER I use DOME and I unchecked the verification, so I just use my mouse to point a price and a limit is directly put. If I click on this price again , the order is cancelled....

It is really quick...


With TWS I use hotkeys, so I have to type on 2 hotkeys (order and transmit) to be executed. OF course I would like to have special hotkeys (like market order with transmit included) so I can type only on one key and I am in...OR Better than that a hotkey that would say NQ June instrument, sell limit at bid and transmit ALL IN ONE key...

In the mean time I do think my DOME trading is faster than TWS hotkeys because I click once and I am in...TWS is a 2 step process

How do you uncheck the verification? I have set up some hotkeys in J-Trader, but I still have to verify my orders and would like to eliminate that step.
 
In settings, Trading :

Confirm Mouse Position

Adding : None

That would eliminate the confirmation requested when you want to take a position.

I use JTRADER 2.8.0.4D standalone version and you ???
(standalone are faster than web based)

Thanks GeorgeSoros

I have two separate accounts, one uses 2.8.0.2D and the other uses 2.8.0.6D. I hate to show my computer ignorance, but I don't know if it is standalone or web based. How do I tell the difference?
 
What I call standalone is when you click on your desktop icon and you can login on JTRADER.

What I call webbased is : you need to go on a website and click on a link that will launch your JTRADER.

1st one is faster. I have JTRADER 2.8.0.3D and 2.8.0.4D standalone.

2nd one is slower. I have JTRADER 2.8.0.2D and 2.8.0.6D web based too....

Can you use PIG in DOME with your JTRADER ???

I have to log in from a website, so I guess I don't have the stand alone version. To my knowledge I don't have PIG in the Dome area. I don't use the dome feature much, so I am not that familiar with it. I enter most of my orders from the hot keys or from the hot quotes window by either clicking on the bid, bid volume, offer, or offer volume.
