Professional platforms/software???

U

UnderGround

Alright everyone here is a question for you. What type of charting software do professional firms use? I know they don't use Trade Station and MetaStock. They must use something else, But what? I’m just curious to know what live charting software or platform they use. Is it better? Any input on this one?

E.g.
Home User: Professional:
E-signal / quote.com CQG
MetaStock ???
 
I've often wondered the same thing. What do the big boys use? or is it proprietary? I guess its just curiousity.
 
Most futures professionals use CQG - esignal is only for retail

although at various times - one or more of the data supply compnaies may have an edge in one area - which might cause traders to take the system until the edge is lost

and most professionals have much simpler setups than the average retail investor

That is so true... it is also true of experienced retail traders... the reasoning is simple: once the fresh-eyed newbie has realised that his experimentation with every single technical indicator on the planet is not getting him anywhere, he steps back and reflects on what truly matters... experience breeds simplicity...
