    Futures Broker-Platform Pair

    I like AMP Futures a lot. My deposits and withdrawals are easy and quick. Also, starting or stopping those feeds are easy to do, and I do it all online. As far as speed and any lag, that would be dependent on the data feed that you select. They have several options. I use CQG and I think...

    Futures Broker-Platform Pair

    Yes, you will need to pay data fees. It depends on what instrument(s) you are looking to trade, and whether or not you want Top of Book or full mkt data. https://www.ampfutures.com/trading-info/exchange-data-fees

    APEX Trader Funding Accounts - 90% Off Until Monday 20 May 2024

    I have ToS, Rithmic, and CQG feeds running simultaneously, and all are generally in lock-step with each other. Might the slowness in ToS be a memory or local processing issue? You can check memory allocation from the Setup icon on the ToS login screen.

    Fast Track Trading has Ceased Operations

    I was sorry to see this message yesterday. They had some good ideas, but it was clear that they were struggling near the end. It's a great reminder to always stay diversified. I had one account with them to test them out, and included them in my Copy trades through Quantower across multiple...

    Trading 101 Trading Group Calendar

    Yes, generally I'm looking for one or two nuggets of good info, or something I haven't seen or viewed in some way before. Unfortunately, it looks like today's meeting has been canceled.

    Trading 101 Trading Group Calendar

    I get that, and I respect that. Every trader needs to know "his or her" trades. Find a style and a trade that works best for you. Then trade the heck out of it. My reality is a bit different from what you describe in the Futs markets. I hate to sit all day at the computer as well. That's...

    Trading 101 Trading Group Calendar

    @status1, There is definitely a very structured approach to trading Futs via prop firms. Not long term trading for sure, the trailing acct liquidation levels will hurt longer term trades. It's more around quick scalping with stop loss and profit targets. That's how most approach the prop firms...

    Rithmic R Trader Pro Settings File

    I'm curious what people do when they have multiple Rithmic accounts across different prop firms. Has anyone solved this problem in R|Trader Pro? Logout of one, and into another? Multiple instances of R|Trader running? My solution has been to use Excel and the RTD functionality in Quantower...

    QT Users

    Thanks, @tom for putting up this forum. Are there any other Quantower users here? I started with a free version through AMP Futures, but I ended up buying a Lifetime Full Package so that I can trade across all of my accounts. The trade copier works on all my Rithmic accounts at once...

    Local Meet Ups

    That's such a beautiful area, and beaches! I spent some time at Eglin AFB when I was in the military. I wish I were closer.

    TOS/TDA Transition to Schwab

    I got the same email today. I've heard in other forums that this group is the very last batch, not sure if this is good or bad.... :) But for sure, they've had lots of practice in moving accounts over already. I have ToS on TDA (green) on one of my trading computers, and ToS SCHW (teal'ish?)...

    TOS/TDA Transition to Schwab

    This seems to point to a broader issue with what's going on at SCHW/TDA right now. My understanding is that Calendars will be permitted at SCHW on instruments like SPX but the margining will be handled as if that front strike is a naked short. So with PM that would take up about $45K or so per...

    TOS/TDA Transition to Schwab

    There's no single solution that's comparable, but I use IBKR + ONE. You can do all of your analysis in ONE, and send your orders directly from there to IBKR. ONE uses the IBKR API to facilitate this, and I've found that it works quite well. Some users have had issues with large numbers of...

    SCHW ToS & RTD

    Those TDA accounts will be moved to SCHW as part of the transition. I would not move a thinig, but SCHW will be completing the transfers of all TDA accounts. I'm in the last batch because I use the TDA API and one of my accounts is PM. I assume my TDA accounts will land as new SCHW accounts...

    SCHW ToS & RTD

    Ahhhh, nevermind. Here's a key learning for me that can hopefully help someone later on. Even though I'm using the same ToS desktop application from my TDA account, when I logged into SCHW, the Application Settings got reset to defaults. That means my Gamma calc's were running at 2...

    SCHW ToS & RTD

    TL;DR Yay! Great forward progress. It's getting there! RTD is mostly working with ToS on SCHW accounts. Mostly good news for spreadsheet junkies like me. This is *mostly* good news. I have existing accounts with SCHW as well as TDA accounts which will be moved probably in Mar 2024 (no...

    Schwab on TOS

    I'm not sure of your trading setup, but I've had a number of other applications behave similarly. Because I run a 4K laptop screen plus another 32" 4k monitor, I end up having to play around with the DPI settings under Properties on the Executable file.
