"market maker" or automatic scalping software. Who has it and who's the best in your opinion? Pro's/cons? Xtrader emarketmaker trademaven etc. Thanks
xtrader with c++ program to api is superior imo for all the rapid fire trading----------or what I would call quick scalps. like nyse tick hits XXX {a certain number} then enter es at market for 2 ticks profit----------------------these kind of programs are the best on xtrader by far.
Didn't tell him you need to do a lot of 'scalping' to pay for the monthly x-trader cost. Given the nature of the question, it will likely only add to his losses.
Macro thank you. Is xtrader uniformly the "fastest data feed." Of course their software is top notch. The reason I ask is if one were to write their own software are their any other feeds which are as fast?
it sure seems to be that way through certain fcm's ----- from my experience. i have been told that photon is very fast but i know nothing of their platform------------x works for me.
