    Dextor, We are talking about Robert Morse, a very frequent contributor to these forums. He works with Lightspeed, an introducing broker to Wedbush. He will be able to answer all your questions. We were joking a bit as he seems to be on the forums at all times of day and hadn't answered your questions yet. But I am confident he will soon.

    1) Wedbush Futures offer SPAN margin with CME offsets
    2) We offer TT/CQG/CTS T4

    We also offer Real Tick, but not for options. That software has our lowest per future cost.

    They are both excellent FCMs.

    I appreciate the mention.

    We offer Wedbush, and can help you with the right technology set up.
    Also, we can find an arrangement for Asian markets.

    I do my best to minimize cost and recommend software and FCM based on your trading method, volume and day trading margin requirements.Also, every software may have certain strengths and weaknesses that are not always seen unless you trading real funds.

    Let's explore what you need specifically and I would recommend (objectively) what software is best suited for you. Please PM me and lets start a dialogue.

    Thank you Robert & Mattz for your replies.

    I am under capitalized if I have to pull out 25k USD from my bank roll and interactive brokers to put into WedBush. I was looking at somewhere above 10k USD in Interactive and another 10k in another account. I may have to reevaluate other options if that is the case.

    There is no need for an Intro Broker to CRS/Wedbush... just reach out directly...
