I'm using Interactive Brokers, using BookTrader so I can take
advantage of single click limit and stop orders by just clicking on
a list of bid/ask prices, the one issue I have is it takes forever
to fill, probably because my order gets in line behind everyone
else and I'm only trading a single contract, just a guess though as
I'm relatively new at this and have only been day trading futures
for a couple of months. I'm using Multicharts for charting.
you are going to LOSE YOU BUTT! Futures can move 15
ticks in a flash... you can be under water by the time
you get filled. That's why I suggested Zaner.
The charts are right there in front of you.. or you can you
your own charts. The data feed is provided...and it is SUPER
FAST.... How the hell do you think I can type on BBT and make
trades at the same time? You can't do it .. if the
platform you are using SUCKS!
