  1. @All
    Thanks !
    @CQGUsers
    I am using a lot of non classic markets. I think that its generating a lot of errors because they don't seem to care on these markets.

    I am looking for a platform with a connectivity to a lot of markets and a lot of spread possibilities.

    That is interesting. You should talk to your FCM or broker. I think the issue lies with your credentials not CQG. Your FCM has to allow access or set risk checks. Maybe they can't clear those trades or have not set you up for them. As far as I know, CQG offers access to ALL listed futures markets.

  3. No, CQG don't offer to all listed futures markets. Nobody does. You have markets where you can't access for legal reasons. You markets so small that CQG don't know them (Bulgarian futures market!).
    And they even say they offer access and then they don't (SAFEX).
    The problem is not in my credentials. They have the wrong margins on spread, the wrong end of day close on options and bad datas for small markets.
    And they mostly don't answer/don't correct the problem when you tell them what's bad on their platform.
    My brokers told me than almost all big platform are bad at margin spread.

    Glad to know I am an exception.
    For me TT is a toy compared to X_Trader because :
    - Sometimes while scrolling, the window itsel also moves.
    - No display on MD of #orders making up the DOM.
    - Can't display Volume Profile on MD numerically.
    - No link from (beta) charts to MD Trader.
    - Can't overlap two or more indicators.
    - Limited indicators Customizations.
    - No integration at all with Excel.
    - No Cumulative Time & Sales.
    - No Market Profile Charts.
    - No Volume Charts.

    I know these issue are temporary.
    That you'll provide solutions.
    But currently, it's a toy.

    LIMITED FUNCTIONALITIES.
    STILL BUGGY INTERFACE.
    NO FLEXIBILITY.

    I have the latest Chrome version,
    Running on a windows 7, 6600K intel.

    I don't want to talk.
    I am happy with X_Trader.
    When I'll be glad with TT, I'll switch.
    And thanks for being so kind with your customers.

    I personally see no improvement from X_Trader.
    Maybe there are. Speed or I don't know what.
    But I have overall a decreased experience.

    You might also want to consider including the ability to place OCO orders for ES in your TT Standard offering. Just about every other platform I've tried already has that capability gratis.
