Hi guys,

I was wondering which broker you guys are using to trade futures. I'm about to open a $5000 account to trade NQ ,ES eminis, and possibly the 10yr T-bill.

Thanks :)
 
IB is the way to go in Canada.

You can also open futures accounts in the US eventhough you live in Canada.

I have been looking for a canadian broker too.

I was trading with PFG canada at one point but website not working anymore, but they called me a week or so ago, so they are still in business. Not recommended cause PFG BEST platform
still has too many bugs.

I know a couple of guy who make a living at trading and they ditched IB because of reliability problems. So IB not good enough
for protraders, maybe good enough for me? Not really willing to try.

I found ALTcapitalMARKETS http://www.altcapitalmarkets.com/
They provide a couple of different platform that have a reputation for reliability but the test drive of the CTS platform is telling things
can be simpler.

Refco canada is a joke, commissions too high and min account too high.

I have demoed NINJATRADER and love it.
Basically, I am looking for a canadian based brokerage who can hook me up with the ninjatrader platform but so far, nobody.

I found a couple more broker but not surre they can give me what I want:

oops! trade freedom min $25 000 to open account

That is pretty much it.

If you have additional info, please add it here.
