Hey @RTraderI recently started trading futures with TradeStation's TS Select. The TradeStation platform is free with a $2K funded account and their commissions are $0.50 per contract, per side for the micros.

 

Any advantage of Ninjatrader over TradeStation for futures trading?

Thanks, @PilotFish. Just a thesis with some probability I've attached to it. Price pays!

I have a game plan mapped out for ROKU (watch here)...

Market aside (which I will be watching), I believe the gap down is overdone and there's reasonable probability of a "snap back" of 33-67% from the long term support level of 120.35ish.

I do see the daily 200MA down below at 118.60 and am prepared for it to go lower, but it's not surprising to see that it stopped on a dime at the long term support.

BTW, Fox and ROKU have kissed and made up (at least temporarily).

The Super Bowl will be available for all ROKU customers. Poke holes in my thesis as we're all here to learn (and I have thick skin).

Another option is to use TradeStation.  The platform is excellent, and I’ve always had great execution with them. They are now commission free as well, so you don’t need to worry about that. You just pay the finra/exchange fees which are very low. They got rid of their platform fee as well. So with that including the commission savings, your business costs will be at least 500$ less each month. If you trade big size then you might save thousands per month in fees, lowering your break even.

I'm migrating from ThinkOrSwim to Tradestation so I can get more flexibility entering orders and automate more of my trading. There's a fee for Level II data (free with TOS), but it's only $11/mo.

@True This is exactly what I was looking for!

TD Ameritrade turned on realtime data on my free sim account (just had to ask) and I really like the OnDemand feature so I can watch any of BBT's pre-market shows and practice using the watchlist. Are you still using TOS?

In Marketable Limit Orders you sell to the bid and buy from the ask, see Andrew´s hotkes:

ROUTE=SMRTL;Share=400;Price=Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send

ROUTE=SMRTL;Share=Pos;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send

 

Hey @Abiel, I'm using the DAS sim that obtained through BearBullTraders. I'm reading on reddit that DAS may not respond quickly enough to fill Marketing Limit Orders on the sim. Is this true?

I really want a true simulation, including use of hotkeys and marketable limit orders.

Thanks,
