Does anyone have experience with especially PFG? I'm about open an account with TA but PFG offered their best pro and trade maven from which I can place orders directly from charting software. looks nice but I'm looking at first for data reliability and than other things.
Hello, I noticed your post and recommend that you look into the Zen-Fire data feed, coupled with NinjaTrader software.
Transact + Sierra Chart is the best combination The recent new features on their Dom are impressive Excellent tool for scalpers
Lorenzo, Is Sierracharts fed by the transact quotes ? Any lag between the TA quotes and the chart ? What's the cost for Sierracharts ?
Is Sierracharts fed by the transact quotes ? YES Any lag between the TA quotes and the chart ? Sometimes, but it does not affect your trading The chart update Interval in milliseconds is 150 (very fast) If you use Xtrader with eSignal you will have more problems What's the cost for Sierracharts ? Level 4 - 24 USD/Month no other fees Lorenzo
Lorenzo, thank you. I know that TA + Sierra is great and not expensive, but I have received an offer from PFG. Very competitive. They offered me 0,35 cents less on commission. And for $49,95 their Best Direct Pro Trader which looks pretty cool. I love sierra but Pro Trader is better imho. And offers trading off the chart and manage multi position visually. I can have a Ninja for $50 + additionally $0,5 on RT. I'm worried about reliability and data feed. TransAct is rock solid but what PFG? If the quality is the same so they have much better offer.
Belmondo, Have a look at the PFG ratings on this site Is BestdirectProtrader Trademaven ? Lorenzo, Does TA has a static dome ?
Virgin, I had a look, but it is only 4 votes and it is a year old. They can prove their services. I have send question to PFG regarding trade maven and BestDirect Pro Trader. So far no response. I would not consider PFG at all but as I said, commission is $4.5 RT all in and $49,95 platform. TA through ProActive is $4,75 and similar to Best Direct is Ninja which is +$50 for TT connection and +$0.5RT so $5,25 RT. but still the quality of feed from TA is probably worth it.
