Which broker would require the least amount of funds for scalping ES 100 contract per fill????? I was thinking of IB but maybe there are other alternatives. Naturally fees per contract should also be as low as possible. Any ideas?? Thanx
Any broker with TT/X Trader. I you are trading 100 lots, why not go with the best.? No offense IB fans, but I highly doubt Paul Rotter or any other heavy hitter uses anything, but TT. I use Ninja with TT data, but at that size I would use TT Pro. A place to start, that I have heard is very good, is Advantage Futures. I use Velocity, they are very good, but just lost one of their main tech guys. IB is great for all around trading. I believe that is their speciality. Good luck. Dan
Advantage and Velocity are both very good....with XTrader 7 and 100 lots you will have the optimal trade platform for fast executions (and very good automated trading capabilities) . NT can also easily be used for 100 lot intra-day trading as the execution speed is very good. You can trade with $500 margins with the brokers mentioned, as well as most of the brokers who offer NT.
