I want to switch from IB to any firm who offers reliable platform with good pricing for emini sp,nq, ym, zb, and zn. I have looked at strategy runner ( manual order entry only) and j trader demos with few futures firms but did'nt like em. I am wondering about ffasttrade. Commision wise they are cheaper than IB and several other firms, but I have not seen their platform (pro version) and I don't have any idea about reliability (specially at the time of news and announcements). I would appreciate comments of any user of this platform. What is their margin requirements.
open e cry they claimed to be competitive with IB at this time I am happy with IB but you might want to take a look at them
My problem was handled very professionally and I was very happy with OEC. The last few pages in my journal have all the details. -Fast
You can contact their rep Nickname "Sioux" S. Cloud . She will be in touch with you for all help that you need. I believe they are best suited for traders doing 1000- 2000 contracts a monthe or 3-6 contracts per side. Velocity and advance future are not cost effactive for traders with above volume, because you will be paying extra 250$ for each added exchange beside higher commision that charged to lower volume trader. I had papertrade with their platform, and seems best fitted for scalpers.
