Platform recommendations

Strategy runner can be used through global on a per side per trade fee or as a monthly flat fee. If you don't trade a lot then you can negotiate with global rt with SR figured in. Nothing wrong with getting your feet wet with $2500. especially if this is your first time at futures. Better to lose only 2500 than 5k or more. :D
 
As I said many times here, the best solution is Transact thru an Introducing Broker and Sierra Chart that is a solid charting software

OEC charts use .Net framework. It sucks a lot of cache memory
Very bad

..BUT in a few weeks OEC data feed will be available with Sierra Chart

Is this the same transact that was unstable in the past ?

Transact was unstable with Trade Maven Toy software

Never had a serious issue in about six month
 
i use sierra charts, which cost only $24 per a month w/ no charge for data; transact supplies the data feed; i go through an ib called infinity
 
I checked out Sierra and like what hey have to offer. I'm still a bit confused as to how these platforms link up with brokers....Can I only use platforms that are on a brokers website? Say I want to trade with global futures and use sierra as a front end...is this possible?

Iit is never a good idea to trade with even 5K unless you really know what you are doing. My advice, get another 2.5K and open an account stress free, then have iron discipline and pray that the market will like you.

What is so nice about Open e cry is that you get free charts, decent DOM, fast fills, decent fees and very good customer service. I would give them a call... once you get that 5K together

I would strongly suggest you take Saxon22's advice about starting with no less than $5000.

OK so say im a complete newbie and don't know what I'm doing......If I put up 2500 and get my ass kicked...what does another 2500 do to save me???....I just look at it as another 2500 I have in my account to lose...If i lose the initial 2500, I can regroup, take a step back and look at what i did wrong and come up with another 2500 to take a shot with. I think its enough to get me started...someone give me a mathematical reason why its not a good idea.
