  2. I still love this platform.
    It is ROCK SOLID . . . and you can get the VelocitEtrader $4.00 all-inclusive deal with it as well. You just pay an extra .25 cents per side.

  3. I just spoke with a representative on http://www.eminisonline.com/ and was told that the price was $4 r/t PLUS exchange fees, which brings the price up to near $6.50 a r/t.

    Where are people getting $4 r/t "all in" + $.25 for Refco Pro(VelociEtrader)?

    I trade between 50-100 ES/month.

  4. I believe that you have to pay the $15.00 data feed fee per month for the ES if you use REFCO's XPRESS trading platform.

    How does this turn out to $6.50 per r/t?

    Contact: Apucci@refco.com for accurate info

    Well make sure he does over 50 lots. If not he will be charged 19.95 a lot. That is a big difference.

  8. Well yeah, that's why the offer is irrelevant. However you do seem to have good deals for higher volume traders, I'll give you that.

    If you are high volume trader there is not a better place to be right now. I would be glad to talk or send you a demo. It is fun to try for 30 days.

    Hi guys/gals

    I'm interested in using Refco as people seem to say a lot of good things about them here (unlike IB). I have taken a look round their websites and there seems to be little in the way of on line demos for Xpress. There is one, for Refco Xpress, but it just shows a quote page. I signed up for the trial simulated trading but the data shows futures for the pits only and is very basic - nothing like the screen shot I have found. The futures are no longer traded either! (D mark, French Franc etc)

    Am I being thick, or is it just that their website/s are crap?

    Not a good experience so far.

    The Refco Pro demo is fine however.

    Help appreciated.

    PS If I subscribe toi their datafeed, can I use it to feed my chart software also?
