TT vs PATS execution speed

[Bernard111]

Quote from futures_shark:

I just received an email from TT. There are some add-ins that work with the standard version but most require PRO. PS Trader works with the standard version and gives you OCO functionality.

Exactly! Also there are a couple of posts on the official TT User forum managed by Baron about the OCO orders.

Bernard,

Any recomendations? Do you mean X-Trader?
Thanks,

Yes the TT-SIM. Most FCM and brokers offer it free of charge for at least a 2 week period.

Any commentary about passing the PATS qualification test?

Who /what should pass such a test?

Do you mean the PATS 'conformance test'? That's what I've always heard it called.

Traders who have programmed/written to PATS API need to run this test before getting the green light to start using it for live trading.

Are you considering writing to PATS API?

Thx for correcting. Of course I should have written 'conformance test'.
My question was about experiences of people in undergoing such test.

The test isn't the problem it is obtaining quality time on one of the testing servers. If you're used to IB and the unlimited demo time you have, get ready for a culture shock.

Just curious, but what size position are y'all trading?

I trade futures using Strategy Runner through ODL securities and soon through RCG. What feed do you think Id be using? PATS, TT ... etc? Can you choose? Do people rate Strategy Runner?
