Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

Go check out a rithmic demo and see how it keeps up

 

@Earn2Trade-Ryan
It was mentioned elsewhere on ET that traders can use CQG-connected platforms to trade in the professional account with Helios, but not in the Gauntlet or live sim.
Could you confirm this is still the case and that I will be able to use a platform of my choice that connects to CQG order routing servers?
I am pretty sure it is possible as Ironbeam (your FCM) does support CQG but want to confirm

 

Hey @bpj , unfortunately this is no longer the case. Since Helios uses some custom Rithmic risk management operations that CQG doesn't support, you'd be required to trade on Rithmic.

 

Is that likely to change? Perhaps when you finally change your FCM as I think you were planning to?

 

Honestly couldn't tell you at this time. It's not even something Helios is currently looking into as they are pretty happy with Rithmic and the FCM.

 

I downloaded the free rithmic trial. It looks nothing like what Im use too. I searched for a while and couldnt find CL or GC. Mostly futures for options.

 

Very weird, try "cl front month" or CLX9.

 

If your using R Trader Pro open an Order Book double click on the Symbol.Exchange textbox and select NYMEX then CL. on Sierra its similar if your using bookmap its just CLX9 as stated above.

 

To any funded traders (who have got the professional account with Helios) - please contact me by private message as I would like to ask a few questions and would like to possibly make new friends among the Gauntlet-route traders

 

It is really a shame and I am surprised this has changed since last year you said that traders would be able to use CQG in Helios account:

Anyone Tried the 60 Day Trading Gauntlet from Earn 2 Trade?
