REDI is notorius for quote delays. You will be looking at stale future quotes and constantly be chasing the market.
Net: I've just discussed this w/a contact in Chicago. Is there a problem with trading remote w/a 106?
You can trade from any location under a 106 as long as you are employeed and w2'ed. We are always looking for talent. jsk2424@yahoo.com
Based upon the total volume traded in the emini i doubt there are very many traders doing more than 1500 trades per month, which is probably the level to seek alternatives to using IB.
There are plenty of guys doing 1500 rt's per month. That is considered low volume by most people close to the biz. They are still considered the average retail.
Price breaks on emini's come into play at 1000 per month. We do ask for an additional amount of trading capital to trade them however. Don
