Ironbeam is advertising on this forum, so just curious any of you use Ironbeam for Futures trading? How sophisticated is their conditional and bracket orders? How's their order fill in fast moving market? Do they have real live customer service or only communicating with clients by emails?
I like tradovate. I would've preferred tradingview charts but it's sufficient. Only minus is they do have sever issues from time to time that often happen during regular market hours. Never tried Ironbeam but charts look similar so I wouldn't divert when Tradovate already offers everything I need. Personal opinion.
Ahh, I see ironbeam has TV integration. That is actually very interesting but not like I have a choice since I only trade in prop firms atm.
Sent you a private message as I don't wanna make it seem like I am advertising them. (They're cheapest one I've found out of all prop firms.)
I appreciate your feedback and it's fantastic that you're finding value in Tradovate's offerings. However, I wanted to shed some light on Ironbeam and what sets us apart. We offer several unique aspects that differentiate us. One of the key features that we're proud of is our proprietary trading platform. Unlike platforms that rely on third-party data or routing, such as Tradovate does with CQG, our platform is built in-house. This not only helps our customers save money on routing/connection fees but also significantly reduces latency, providing a smoother, more responsive trading experience. Ironbeam is a direct clearing member of the CME Group. Many other firms operate as introducing brokers or non-clearing FCMs. Our direct clearing membership signifies a more streamlined and efficient setup, which eliminates the middlemen and provides direct access to the exchange. Our team is committed to providing a robust and reliable server uptime, understanding that for our users, downtime isn't an option. Of course, it's all a matter of personal preference and what works best for your trading style. If you ever feel like exploring new options or just want to take a tour of our platform, we'd be more than happy to accommodate you. Thanks for the discussion!
