I would be switching from GR8 trade.. yes.
Although I would miss the Gr8 Trade charts, the new charts are ehh.

Quote from Steelhead:

chaos, where would you be switching from? gr8?

by any chance, do you? If not why are you so utterly so excited about a trading software that is already being used by Echotrade for over a year, ETG is behind the curve AGAIN and they have a ticket charge of $4 per trade?! for remote traders...hmm, sounds like a scam to me, but hey you get what you deserve if you choose to be ripped off, g-d bless.

Yes and I think the software fee is $250 per month in addition.

yeah blows, switching to Redi from Gr8 trade... it was a nice thought though.
Need some decent chart program.

Any idea if they offer an API for external analysis or autotrading? I'm unfamiliar with this product but I am attracted to the speed of the underlying connection.

As far as automated trading is concerned, I hear Predator Pro is really powerful.

I hope you don't mean that by free charts, you're getting a screen of the futures that's been duplicated throughout the office like I've seen in some offices.

Looks like there is a Rookie here that has no idea what he is talking about and is once again talking out of his ass . . .

Just to set a few things straight:

1.) There is no $4.00 ticket charge at ETG.

2.) The new platform does not cost $250 per month; in fact it is FREE if you trade over 50,000 shares per month. Duh.

3.) I am not an employee of ETG.
I am just excited about the speed and functionality of this new trading platform.

Cheers!

Waggie, the software fee is still $250. for under 20k shares, and there is a price break for 20 to 50k shares for $125, and free over 50k.

The minimum ticket charge in October when I cancelled out my account was $4.

The new commission is now .001 all inclusive with no minimum ticket charge.

Good luck and good trading

Obviously there are differences between whether or not your account is prop or retail, but basically you essentially confirmed what I said earlier . . .

1.) The Trading Platform is FREE if you do > 50,000 shares.

2.) There is no $4.00 ticket charge.

3.) "AreYouKidding" is a moron that enjoys talking out of his arse.

Happy Trading!
