I'm looking for the broker that offers the best commissions using the J-Trader platform. Any tips? Would be great if you could also write what comissions they are charging you! Thanks Andy
With J-trader, you can have option of paying $0.50 per side, which perfectly suits small traders. As example: 250 Round turns x $0.50 per side= 250$ only With X-trader there is not "$0.50 per side" option, so will be little costly for low volume traders. X-trader $650+ $250 Extra Exchange= $900 plateform/monthe $900 / 250 Round Turns = $1.80 per Side My Advice to Newbies: IF you aren't doing at least 300 Round turn a monthe, you don't need X-trader.
With "Refco PRO" you pay $0.25 per side and get a very reliable platform. Or have a look at "Transact Futures" and do the math for 250 rt/month.
Andy, You might consider xTrader... The market depth trader is the best trading platform in the industry to trade futures.... Now with the OCO it is even stronger... See: http://www.velocityfutures.com/x_trader.html and http://www.velocityfutures.com/download/ReadMe.doc Andrew
