Hi, also asked this in another thread... Can anyone directly compare TWS & JTrader? Would be interesting to opinions about stability & speed of order entry... TIA, cosmic
Alaron also offers SR for trading. I might get $4.0 RT from them for eminis (which includes $0.5 RT for SR) which is not that bad, but I don't know how good SR is. Seems slower than Ninja Trader, for instance. I am testing it in a demo mode right now. Any opinions on SR would be appreciated, particularly from those who used in on Alaron/Flushfutures servers. BTW, a rumor has it that NT is going to introduce NT for JTrader. I don't know if this is such a good idea in the light of the rather lousy performance of JTrader as reported in this thread. Do you guys think that NT might help JT become a better platform?
Could you tell us more about RTS? I use both TWS and J-trader. Sometimes my order in TWS can get filled but the same one in J-trader can't. The next version of J-trader called TradeMark is likely to be available in the second half of this year, according to PATS. Hope that can fix the problem. For other platforms like Ecry, I am a little doubtful if they cannot gain enough market share like TWS or J-trader.
Sounds like the server you were using was over loaded by the clearing firm. I've had very good luck using the J-Trader platform.
Just so everyone knows we offer the following at Alaron: - J-Trader - Strategy Runner - Alaronline - Futures Dynamics Crossfire - FFast Fills FFastnet Browser - X_Trader Thanks, Jay
Open E-cry is an FCM J-Trader is a 3rd party platform TWS is IB's Platform To talk about market share is not really the issue for Open E-Cry. You can get Jtrader at their place too. If you want reliability, then re-consider IB. TWS and J-Trader are Java Platforms. Open E-Cry and TT's X-Trader are in the same class IMHO. Michael B.
