    And today they announce in 10 days the GAIN trader - an amazing platform for spread traders - will be switched off.
    This is crazy. I watch more than 20 spread contracts in the GAIN quote board. How the heck am I supposed to do the same using CQG webshit?

    Better get out of Gain.

    Gain platform uses tons of computer memory.
    Also, there is at least a bug that they can't fix it.

    Yeah, I am with IB as well but I like Stonex since they respect exchange traded spreads margining system
    For what you see in the image Stonex requires about 10K maintenance margin while IBKR requires about 30K.
    I will be looking around for alternatives for sure

    Me too, SPX with IB (PM), but ES with Tasty, Tradestation and StoneX. Gaintrader did accept EAsylanguage and Signals from TS. Will miss this.

    Looks like this CQG web platform is some outdated rubbish - doesn't offer trading direct off charts & no tick bar, range bar or momentum bar interval charting either -

    So is Gaintrader completely dead or could is it still available (under different name) at some other brokerage?

    Thanks

    I'd like to know. But when the mothership gets rid of it all others will do that too I guess
