I have 7 accounts with Tradestation and their customer service could not be worst, I need an IB to move my futures accounts to but it must clear through RJ Obrien. Anyone?
I think that you could just hold your accounts with RJ OBrien and trade a self directed account using their own front end software.
Also, TerraNova Futures clears trades through RJ O'Brien. http://www.terranovaonline.com/TNO_PandS/Futures.asp
i'm on the floor. terra nova for 199 or less contracts per month is $10.42 per contract. thats a joke and a crime
$4 per side plus $1.14 routing fee per side. It does seem high, I have never seen an order routing fee stated before. Also $4 per side seems high as well for e-mini.
Ira Epstein & Company uses RJO for NY clearing. They have very low e-mini rates. Round turns can get under $5 if you have volume. They offer OST-IraCharts, which they developed and which competes head on with TT for 1/10th the price. Good customer service. They care about their customers.
Use RJO "find broker" page... http://www.rjobrien.com/ib/IBLocator.php It's awkward cuz you have to list by state/city, but at least you don't visit a gazillion broker pages just to find out who they clear through. It would be great if there was single source broker listing that included clearing firm, and kept up-to-date.
