Anybody trading e-mini futures through Tradestation??? If so, what has your experience been like so far???
I have been using TS2000i to trade via eFloorTrade.com for about 3 weeks now. Their autoXecutor interface is still in development, and I had a few rough patches early on. But I tweaked my code a little, and they updated their program, and it has worked pretty well lately. I will say this...Its a thrill the first time you drop the reigns and let the system enter a trade on its own. And its an even bigger thrill when it does something you didn't expect :eek: That is the risk vs reward of automated trading of course. Fills are lightning fast on ES though. From the time the clock strikes :00 to the time you get the fill report back is about 2 seconds. Plus, efloortrade is a PATS broker, which is a nice bonus. So check them out if you are interested in TS automatic execution. Given their history, I frankly wouldn't trust Omega with my trading business.
Futures funds are held and futures trades are cleared through Refco, LLC. Their futures order entry was browser based last time I looked. Avoid. Perhaps when the platform is upgraded it will be worth a look.
No cdn... They just rolled out futures on their platform... 3.99 per side... was just wondering if anybody was using them yet...
looks like browser based to me. http://www.tradestation.com/tradingplatform/direct_access_exec_fut.shtm
