{quote} Some things to consider: 1. Find out exactly when whichever broker you choose considers "intraday margin" to be in effect. For me and the account I have it runs from 6 pm eastern time US until 415 pm the next day. Between 415 pm and 600 pm is when initial margin and maintenance margin are in effect. Initial is what you will need the first day and maintenance is what is needed for all other days. 2. Always, and I do mean always start with just one contract. It doesn't make sense to scale up if you can't make a consistent profit with one contract....
Thanks Magnum. Glad more folks are going to futures. i have yet to decide on how many contracts to begin with... mostly like one or two contract per $10K account size is enough for starters.... and completely agree on demo account. I am used to running demo in parallel 100% of the time. I am a demo trader for life looking and feeling market rithym/pulse even when I am not trading. The appeal now is to limit screentime to only 1 hour like Mr. Divergence and no more thinking about markets round the clock. Curious which broker, feed and platform are you using?
I tried Discount Trading's FireTip and I don't like it. research continues....

Yikes... That's not good. What happens if you had a live trade and CQG goes down? would they honor or trigger SL/TP? This is scary when 8-10 lots are on the line with no SL :-(

i have no idea. how is this even possible to be offline this long?!? is this even legal?

i think i'm considering adding rithmic to my data access. that's another $5/month since i have to get exchange fees/user. Also rithmic is more expensive .25/contract/side vs .10/contract/side for cqg.

this is just ridiculous.

I think you might want to add TT instead of rithmic... if ultra-low latency matters to you.

Don't be too quick to blame the provider - fair enough if it's their doing, but i've had it a few times when a quick computer reboot sorts it out instead. Not sure why the glitch, but true

I am beyond frustrated with my selection process of finding the right platform with the right features... and their stupid demo expiring in 7-14 days after trial period. I am signing up with AMP to get their unlimited demo versions by paying $100.... going thru the application process and found this disclaimer

 

  1. 2. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SYSTEM FAILURE
  2. Trading through an electronic trading or order routing system exposes you to risks associated with system or component failure. In the event of system or component failure, it is possible that, for a certain time period, you may not be able to enter new orders, execute existing orders, or modify or cancel orders that were previously entered. System or component failure may also result in loss of orders or order priority.


We are essentially screwed if we loose connectivity with the data providers. So I ask, what is our protection here? I thought SL and TP would reside at the exchange servers so are we not protected during connectivity loss? It is my understanding at all orders reside at the broker's server or directly at the exchange in the world of futures. If that is the case then our risk is contained and limited. Is that also your understanding? After reading your experience, I think multi-feed capable platforms is a must instead of going only with one data feed (there are many platforms that work only with one data feed... which to me means single point of failure) agree?

EDIT: Here's my very simple requirements and some demo platforms are just stupid in their designs.

1)sub-second candlestick chart (1second, 30 second etc)
2) tick volume chart (1tick chart, 100 tick chart, etc)
3) Ability to zoom in/out, click/drag chart background etc)
4) single click Chart trading with defaults, bracket orders, drag/modify orders on charts, move SL to BE, trailing SL etc... all actions visible and taken from charts
5) show pnl in $ and in Tick on charts
6) Desktop, web, tablet and mobile versions
7) multiple linked accounts support with single login and trading allocations/copy features. trade in one account copies into multiple linked accounts (I would have 2 IRAs and 3 regular margin accounts linked). Ability to assign nicknames to linked accounts
8) Time and Sales with filtering capability based on volume/size
9) Real time PnL and margin calculator capability
10) multiple data feed support (in case one feed has an outage)

V,

In order to have your SL an TP held on the exchange you need the right mix of Platform, broker, & data provider. Sierra, amp, cts t4 will allow this functionality. There are others, but that is on you.

In absence of this functionality, the only way to close an order is calling the trade desk. Not ideal, but its a last option.

Just wanted to post quick update.

This week has been super busy with work. I couldn't even trade the asian sessions few days since stupid coworkers wanted to eat out and we stay past 9pm. And really didn't trade the US session much, except today since i'm flying back. I hate these social work thing, but when you're traveling, it's hard to avoid

But anyway, trading wise, I managed to get about $1200-$1500 the last 5 days average. Which means I only recovered 50% of the -$10,000 dip in pnl. Now although it isnt a performance dip, i treat it as such. Because in reality, you can't predict drawdowns.

Still a decent week given that it is my travel week. Next week, i'll also be busy, so might not get all my US sessions in.

Then that weekend, i'm taking a vacay with the family to Cancun . Wife was like, "we need to spend some of this profits". One of few times i actually agree with her.
