use CyberTrader, and Saxobank - both really good and if you are a strong
player you can talk to them both about the margin percentages.
Although the Saxo platform is probably a little more robust and you can
trade EVERYTHING in it, both of them give you charting abilities.
Both have fast execution and choice of routing. Since I have an automated
software that I wrote - my system looks at both brokers, and decides which
one to work with per transaction. If you want more info about my system
email me, or you can read more about it on

I hope this helps you
May the profits be with you!

Subject: brokers redux...comments on velocity, open e-cry, ts8, others?
hi guys,
i'm looking for a broker where i can do high intraday volume and
trade both electronic and pit futures in the same account and use the
same platform, eventually with autoexecution.. i currently use
j-trader with rcg and ib (nothing bad to report on either for
non-auto trading).
mark brown recommended velocity futures and open e-cry in the past on
this list and on his website. velocity is interesting cuz they use
xtrader exclusively (i'm thinking that i could use mark's free dual
subserver thingy to pull quotes out of xtrader for fast and timely
ts2ki charting). open e-cry is interesting in that they offer both
pit and electronic futures through their home grown c++ platform.
anyone use velocity or open e-cry or heard any stories about either
of em, good or bad?
ts8 was recommended in the past on this list by bob fulks and some
others. i still have a bitter sweet relationship regarding
omega/ts/tt and the cruz brothers. problem is, ts8 fits my system
automation criteria, but it doesn't do electronic and pit futures in
the same account. so i would need to open two accounts...one for
electronic only with orders routed through the ts platform, and
another account for pit with orders routed through rjo's mcd
platform. if you want to trade both e and pit in one account, then ts
interfaces with mcd and all orders are routed through the mcd
platform. swell, another cobbled together platform. might as well go
directly to rjo and eliminate the tt middleman. anyone care to
comment on ts8 strengths and weakness?
what drive me nuts is that to get what you want, you still have to
cobble together a platform, and use different vendors for data,
charting, order execution, and trade automation...ts8 appears to fit
the bill for all the above, but after reading their fine print, it's
another cobbled together platform. as a recent thread on this list
indicated, vendors are squirrelly...if one part fails and it ain't
fixed quickly, then you the helpless trader has a big problem,
meaning lost bucks per day.
all comments are welcome on these and other platforms, cobbled or not
thanks...
