Reliable Broker for Eminis?

Quote from j_medved:

If you are excluding IB, then try MB Trading - http://www.mbtrading.com

Their commissions are comparable (lower actually).

and yes, they have an API.


The real annoyance with MB is their restricted trading hours for futures.

Rich,
I see you back traders. Would you guys consider someone who has struggled for about 16 months. I've been consistant , but have refussed to increase my size until I'm consistantly profitable. My TT expenses and my charting expenses have left me with too little after profits to take money out of my account. Looking for some guidance to get more consistant. I have excellant discipline with getting out of losers, although I look for too much on winning trades. Getting better, just feel I'm running out of account. I'm sure you heard this described as bleeding to death. I've been trading the Euro Stoxx 50 for the last few months, after not having much success trading the Mini Dow. I trade about 600 to 800 RT a month. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
