We get market data from CQG.

Hopefully they will allow 3rd party applications/API in the future.

Therein is my issue. I have used SierraCharts for years, and have developed my own studies. I'm locked into SierraChart, unless/until I decide to refactor or forego my work. Since I know tradovate reads this, I will mention, Sierra works with CQG feed [wink], and others!

For FCM diversification and other reasons, in early Nov16, I opened an account with a different Dorman IB. I continue to use Sierra.

Trade On!

We do have an API that third parties have integrated with and plan on making this publicly available in Q1 of 2017. We'll put an announcement out on ET when this is available.

If you are interested in using Sierra Chart at Tradovate, please make sure to indicate this interest to Sierra Chart as well.

Will individual traders be allowed to use this API for automated trading?

Yes, this will be available for both individual traders and third-party platforms.

You're brave to offer an API to retail clients. You'll be astonished by some of the questions/complaints you'll get... "Why can't I open an account with no money!?!?"... "Why do I have to log in every day!?!?"... "How come my actual trading is different from my paper trading!?!?"...
 
Its just that everywhere else I look CQG charges 50c RT for routing. This is the normal CQG rate. Are you saying that Dorman and CQG are splitting clearing and routing into this 7c per contract?

While we can't comment on the costs related to CQG at other firms, we can say that Tradovate does not charge additional order routing fees and what our customers pay on transactions above exchange and NFA fees is a $0.09 per contract clearing fee, since we are not a clearing firm. We have our own proprietary platform and don't charge extra for that either, so it is simply a different experience than what you may find with many other futures brokers.

CBC, we certainly appreciate your questions and comments and would like for you to be able to try Tradovate for yourself, so we would like to offer you a free month where you can trade on the platform in live or sim as much as you want. If you like it, we would love to have you stay on as a customer and share your experience on this thread. If you decide that Tradovate isn't for you, it costs you nothing. Simply PM us your info and we'll send you info on how to get started and how to get your free month of Tradovate. Thanks!
 
I for one appreciate your posts. You are a big help to many traders including me personally. Folks, CALLunbus has spent a long time with me personally walking me through novice discoveries with utmost patience. Read his posts carefully as there is a lot of concise info embedded within them.

J_smith, this is not very friendly, but if that is how you want to act, ok, it is your decision. All I wanted to share here with fellow traders was and is a great opportunity for serious traders. I enjoy to encourage good people and good companies. There is enough negative thinking in the world, enough people who think they have to bash everybody and everything. I prefer to encourage good people instead of bashing.
