Dears Futures Traders, I need yours sounds advices to make a good choice for my second broker ! This what i need : 1. X-trader ! 2. CME 3. No Monthly fee ( second broker ) 4. Good Data feed ( better than IB ) 5. Low Commissions So I made a lot of research. I have tested the platform from Transact ( but no volume like X-trader ), Redsky ( horizontal isnât for me). But still Xtrader is better for my style. I have think to global futures, but has a platform fee. Here is my personnal recommandation : Velocity Futures ( everything I need ), but maybe you have a better choice ? Or some bad comments about them ? There rating is a little bite out of date why ? nobody new ? http://www.elitetrader.com/br/?action=view&R_FirmID=142
Take a look at Advantage Futures, too. I opened an account with them, but haven't traded with them. I've heard good things, and their commissions are as good as it gets.
Are doing a huge amount of round trips a month? The platform fee on Global Futures actually makes more sense when you consider how low the commissions become when you trade volume. It starts at $0.70 per roundtrip and goes down the more and more you trade.
