    I tested Tradingview and other app based platforms before and found this web-based platform is slightly lagging in bar refresh. Sometimes bars were stuck for several seconds. I don't trust web-based platforms, which are for amateurs or for casual use. By the way, I don't think I can trade with only 10 levels of DOM now. It's like having a limited range of radar. Rithmic is way better than CQG. If you are a Mac user, AMP+Rithmic+Motivewave setup is tough to beat.

    Rithmic is also more expensive, 0.25 per R/T for manual trades vs 0.1 with CGQ at AMP

    And there is no reduction in fees for Micros by either CGQ or Rithmic (and probably TT as well)

    They seem to charge the same fee regardless if you trade mini or micros.

    They could at least offer half the regular fee for micro trading vs minis.

    Trading cost of Micro products is relatively more expensive than normal size contract because CME charges relatively higher fee to their Micro products. Brokers or data providers are not guilty. That's because CME is super GREEDY.

    Oh, it seems my statement was either outdated or incorrect. Please ignore that part. My apology for that... :confused:

  5. I am not going to use a windows program, so I am not sure or care to pursue. I am looking to download the iPhone app.

    CQG kicks you off when you try to use both at the same time
