IB and PATS volume

Cdntrader · Jul 27, 2003

Quote from jearnest:

As for other platforms, we are looking for information about if traders who do a lot of volume prefer IB, Pats, TT or whatever. Our current opinion is that they generally prefer TT, but this may be limited because we only deal with TT. I would like to know if PATS is a system (j-trader) that some larger traders prefer or is it generally preferred because of the lower cost, (when preferred over TT).?

We are considering getting PATS as another platform for our traders and would like to know what traders really think about J-Trader...

Also, are there any traders who do volume that are using another platform other than TT or PATS...ie IB...what do they like about it?

Obviously, we would like to know to better provide for traders and we probably have a slighted opinion because we all grew up using TT to trade futures.

I've used Pats and it was fine. But IB TWS beats the pants off anything else for my uses. The number of API front ends available is mindboggling.

Just take a look @ http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=20322

and see how similar it is to TT.

TWS just gives alot more options than TT or Pats.
