Hello, I currently use X_Trader and love it, the speed at which it operates is amazing. I have been offered a great rate to switch to CQG trader (not IC) and want to know if anyone has used both and how the speed in CQG Trader compares to X_Trader? The monthly cost does not matter in this instance nor does charting. Thank you, bathrobe
I have limited experience with it, and honestly I'd rather use ninja over cqg trader. CQG charting is great, order entry is sort of "meh", this was like 2 years ago I'm not sure about nowadays.
I use x-trader and have recently used cqg. CQG will lag x-trader. End of story. In active moments cqg will halt for a split second and x-trader will keep on jumping like nothing happend.
Ninjatrader, also called craptrader is bullshit compared to CQG and X-trader. Ninjatrader is for kids, x-trader for traders.
What end of story? Never seen a lag on CQG Trader Yesterday after unemplyoment data zenfire was lagging and freezing while CQG was perfect Please show us a video with the comparision of both Xtrader and CQG Thnx
For small account I suggest Velocity Futures They are very cheap because they are also a clearing house You can't find better conditions 2.01 per side or 4.02 R/T all in for the ES http://www.tradewithvelocity.com/landing-pages/freecqgtrader.aspx http://www.tradewithvelocity.com/commissions/product-commissions.aspx?productID=46
Open an account direct with them, not through an IB http://www.rcgdirect.com/ or see here: http://www.cqg.com/Electronic-Trading/Trade-with-FCM-Partners.aspx
