Any Tradestation Futures plus account users here

so whats benefit of using standard TT for Tradestaion users , since i assume Tradestation offers Future on their platform which can do things even more than TT standard ?!!

 

sorry typed too fast..

in my case i need the autospreader (sorry thats the only functionality from Pro that they have in the Futures plus)
So they have Autospreader but no other automation functions and no RTD to excel and no SDK
Commissions are also pretty high at $1.50 per contract per side..

 

Isn't Tradestation securities sponsoring here anymore? seems not many aware of TS offering this TT trader platform

 

I am using FuturesPlus on tradestation. Yes the spreader is there.

 

Spreader is there, something that not many people do.

 

Has to do with lack of knowledge I think. It's the best way I know to get small accounts into like oil and other high margin products.

 

I just started using the FuturesPlus platform a few months ago. I mainly sell Bull Puts and Bear Calls.

I'd like to start using various widgets such as Electronic Eye, RFQ Viewer, and Autospreader. I briefly looked at the documentation for them but there's a lot I need help with. Does anyone use them? Care to give a little info on the how's and why's of any one of these particular widgets?

Thanks.

 

Take a look through the TT YouTube page. There are numerous instructional videos there for the tools in the TT platform and they should provide what you need.

Patrick,

Sorry for this very late response but thank you pointing me in the right direction. Since you work TT maybe you can answer two nagging questions I have about the FuturesPlus platform:

1 Why does the Chart widget not offer 240 min, 480 min, weekly, or monthly timeframes?

2 Why are the ATR readings so weird? As I type this, the ES Sep20 ATR(14) reading on my daily chart is 7.54k and the hourly ATR(14) is 1087.69. As I'm sure you know, the ATR formula is very simple. How are these numbers being calculated and what do they actually mean because I'm thoroughly confused by them.

Thanks

 

Click on a chart and type "240" for a 4hr interval. IDK what the problem may be with ATR and you need to enter a support ticket for that.
