TradeStation as Futures Broker

R

Does anyone use TradeStation for a futures broker (cleared through RJ O'Brien) for day trading e-mini's?

If so, how are the fills?

I am new to futures so any other suggestions as to futures brokers would be appreciated.
 
I have no complaints about RJO'Brien. Fills are fast and at the market.

Another alternative is Interactive Brokers.
 
I'm using them and i like it, but i don't have much to compare it to...has anyone used places that clear thru GHCO and others? how do the fills compare?
 
Matrix is the order window. Neat little invention that is. Made my trading much simpler since I trade thinner futures.

I love my TradeStation. The fills are just fine now since they are directly in CME and CBOT.:)
 
It's great!... But I considered that (for example) if I place a buy limit order 1 contract of the emini S&P @1000.00 and select something like "bracket orders", will TS be create simultaneously a sell limit order @1010.00 and a sell stop order for @995.00?
 
Yes, there is a way to do that on TS....you need to use the Order Macros. How that is really done, I do not have a clue since I do not place stops immediatly. I wait to see what develops for a bar or 2.:)
