Looking for platform similar to IB TWS

S

svtrader

I've been trading with IB and TWS for several years, but because my trading strategy involves hedging with multiple futures contracts, I am considering a broker with $500 day margins for futures.

I really like TWS, and don't need any complex capabilities in a platform. Just the ability to "park" more than one order for multiple contracts futures NQ, ES, YM on one page (as an example: sell 5 ES contracts @ 1118, 1117.5, 1117.25 etc), waiting for the right moment to hit the T/Transmit button.

In looking at the platforms offered by Velocity Futures or Global Futures, I see platforms like Xtrader, CQG Trader, etc . Are any of these similar to TWS?

CQGTrader supports the "Parked" orders functionality where you can prepare several orders and then activate them one at a time or as a group to go to the exchange.
