    I'm looking for Futures Online Broker who can provide all kinds of electronic order types.

    I'm doing part time trading with Futures, and I need 100% electronic trading.

    I don't have time to watch the market, and I need the following order types:
    1) Market
    2) Limit
    3) Stop
    4) Market on Open
    5) Market on Close
    6) One Cancel Other (OCO)

    Below are comments on Brokers I've dealt so far:
    a) ELOCALTRADING uses J-Trader software. Doesn't provide types 4,5,6

    b) EFLOORTRADE uses J-Trader software. Doesn't provide types 4,5,6

    c) POINTDIREX - Doesn't provide types 4,5,6

    d) ALARON uses RAN software. Doesn't provide OCO. For OCO wants to call in.

    e) JP Futures. They have both J-Trader and RAN. Can't use their J-Trader due to firewall issues. RAN doesn't have OCO. For call in to watch OCO they charge fee for each order to cancel.

    f) Interactive Brokers (IB). Can't resolve firewall issues.

    g) ANCO - Doesn't provide types 4,5, 6


    I would appreciate any help.

    What would concern me is that only limit and stop orders reside on globex.
    These other types of orders do not and if the broker has a tech problem so do you.
    Just my conservative viewpoint .

    f) Interactive Brokers (IB). Can't resolve firewall issues.

    LOL, you mean you can't resolve firewall issues.

    I trade from work through a firewall perfectly fine.
    I trade from home through a firewall also.

    You should ask one of your network friends to set it up
    correctly for you.
