Question on cyber trading university

NKNY · May 4, 2005

From what I understand you can trade at cyber trading university in LI ny in a kind of prop environment with 10 to 1 margin.

Has anyone traded there before..? What Software do they use for executions,,,?

Thanks

I used to trade with them retail with my own account (i.e.: not prop).

The platform - at least on the retail end - is Global Trader. It's unknown and obscure. It's alright, but nothing great. Didn't have too many problems with execution. Put it this way: it is adequate, but it is no E*Trade LightSpeed (which I use now and love).

CTU's platform has its own charts, but I didn't like the way it set up indicators, and there is only a limited amount of them. If you go with them, I would recommend getting an extra charting service, such as E-Signal or QuoteTracker using IQFeed or something as your data feed.

They are a small operation, but they are good guys.
