$500 for CQG with all the trimmings. $550 for TT (X-trader) $100 for 2 seperate DSL connections. But I trade on 3 different futures exchanges on 2 continents. ...but IB is sounding better by the minute. Success, CB
CQG has order entry and said, quotes to be very fast (how about its excution?) any reason why you prefer to use X-trader? Do you get second futiures exchange free with X-trader? If so, who offering it?
you and the guy posted below you got to be making big bucks...right? Paying so much for tools/resources and all.
Wao! $200 for squawk box? which service do you use? I know there are few site that offers it for less, but why you pay more? How do you use it? lets's say up trend has just formed and you hear noise, How you interpret whether it's continuation for staying in trend or reversal?
Not because all of them have proven strategy, but some have higher tolerance for expense, because they trade larger account (more than 3 contracts). From this poll, you can make out that 50% traders are trading 1 or may be 2 contracts maximum. If you trade 2-3 contracts, you can offered to spend around $300-$600. And the traders who spend around $10,000, they might be paying for top advisory service or paying hefty % fees to fund account manager, or expenses like runing offices and website related.
