I just watch his free streams on youtube. He posts few of them daily with good bits and pieces. I actually learned more from his free videos than any other youtubers including tim sykes. Eventually all of them figure out a way to make one hour videos of babble without actually giving any useful info.
I went from TOS to Tradestation and never realized how outdated TOS really was. However I will be transitioning back to Schwab. Too scared to leave my money with anyone else.
How are the fills with Tradestation? Are market orders instantaneous? TOS is relatively quick with hotkeys, but could be faster. I think it's probably all their risk checks and of course the PFOF model probably doesn't help.
Fast order execution and clean level 2 are my top priorities. I’ve had frustrating slippage issues before, so now I test execution speed with small trades before going in heavier.
TOS is stuck in the 90s i dont think schwab cares about that platfrom. they just bought it to sandbag retail traders that were in it. they wanted the access to biggest order flow they could get from retail so they can train their AI on all of you lol
Low-latency order execution, solid hotkey support, and clean charting matter most to me. I also want fast DOM updates and no lag during high volume—some platforms freeze exactly when you need them.
I’ve been messing around with Axiom lately and it’s been working out pretty well for fast execution. If you’re trying it too, the axiom exchange invite code guide helped me get set up without missing anything important. The setup part’s not tricky, just a few steps, but the guide saved me some time. Execution speed feels solid and the interface didn’t take long to figure out.
I used axiomtrade.net for a few months mainly for quick trades during high-volatility sessions, and the order execution speed held up well even during news events. The interface was simple enough to set up hotkeys and quick orders without too much hassle. Slippage was minimal most of the time, which made it easier to stick to tighter spreads. Worth checking out if fast trades are your thing.
i use multicharts and cqg for data and execution thru amp futures. i only trade the es mini futures though so its a simple setup for scalping. trades lasting from same second to few minutes at most. soon multicharts will be out with a python script platform and looking forward to that.
