Trading Technologies allows aggressive Limit Orders?

Oh that’s not a good assumption. By using the web version on a much larger screen you will be able to pull up many more windows simultaneously and you will be able to get a much better feeling for the functionality.

But the first thing you need to do is to learn what the different order types are and how they work. Entering a limit order 500% away from the currently traded price is pointless.

TT is the best futures trading platform there is IMO. But you should know that SIM demo trading environments are not realistic and there are usually P&L errors. Lots of threads here on ET about this over the years.

Finally, you are using mostly dated expiries that are illiquid. It's not reasonable for you to assume that a SIM environment will be accurate for those dated expiries.

Yes I have noticed a large number of illiquid securities on the TT platform. It's ridiculous that there are so many contracts people don't trade, makes it harder for those of us who do want to trade them. Anyhow, I was just testing out the platform and trying random limit order prices. Of course they need to be matched to be filled in reality. Seems a good platform overall.
 
Nearly all of the volume in those dated contracts is done with exchange supported spreads. If you pull up the implied pricing on those contracts it will be different.

Why not just trade the most liquid contract? Also, why bother with the mobile version, it is more just a tool to manage positions if you do not have access to a real computer. The web and desktop versions are exponentially better than the mobile version.

My biggest complaint about TT is charting, not that I dislike the charting, I actually like how spartan it is, what I dislike is that I cannot use some of my fav types of charts like range and tick. I would also like market profile, but i get good use out of VAP and Price Distribution. I share the same opinion as Bone, TT is the best futures platform.
