Hi guys, I was wondering which broker you guys are using to trade futures. I'm about to open a $5000 account to trade NQ ,ES eminis, and possibly the 10yr T-bill. Thanks
IB is the way to go in Canada. You can also open futures accounts in the US eventhough you live in Canada. peace ozzy
I have been looking for a canadian broker too. I was trading with PFG canada at one point but website not working anymore, but they called me a week or so ago, so they are still in business. Not recommended cause PFG BEST platform still has too many bugs. I know a couple of guy who make a living at trading and they ditched IB because of reliability problems. So IB not good enough for protraders, maybe good enough for me? Not really willing to try. I found ALTcapitalMARKETS http://www.altcapitalmarkets.com/ They provide a couple of different platform that have a reputation for reliability but the test drive of the CTS platform is telling things can be simpler. Refco canada is a joke, commissions too high and min account too high. I have demoed NINJATRADER and love it. Basically, I am looking for a canadian based brokerage who can hook me up with the ninjatrader platform but so far, nobody. I found a couple more broker but not surre they can give me what I want: http://www.unionsecuritiescommodityfutures.ca/ http://www.tradefreedom.com/trading/trading_fees.html oops! trade freedom min $25 000 to open account That is pretty much it. If you have additional info, please add it here.
