The Infinity AT is a user-friendly ninjatrader in my opinion. Definitely try out the demo first. Its connected to real-time data so you can test how fast the execution is. __________________ James Lee Email: JamesLee@traderslaboratory.com Web: www.TradersLaboratory.com Leave a Voicemail: Snapvine ...

RE: Infinity's platform - I have not tried it. I contacted them awhile back regarding commission quotes and they could not get in the ballpark of what i was paying, let alone beat them. RE: Open ECry - I have demo'd it and it is nice. It depends on what you need, but there are some useful features on it and it should have or will have soon MIT orders if you need those. I ...

Cooter, According to the NFA, they are registered as an FCM. http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/...d=0326789&r n=Y . Assuming that is correct, that would mean they can perform trading operations at a level higher than an IB. How all the back office items work, I am not sure on exactly. I understand that an IB (introducing broker) simply markets their own name and handles ...

So an IB just "private-labels" another trading platform, basically. But an FCM can clear themselves or contract to have a larger house do it themselves. I'm thinking this is what OpenECry does. Last edited by cooter : 04-08-2007 at 09:23 PM ....

That is interesting Cooter. As for the dissection of this futures trading 'pyramid', my understanding is that you basically have: 1) The exchanges that provide the marketplace. 2) The firms that clear there. 3) The FCM's that either clear and/or work with the firms in #2. 4) IB's are marketing co's of FCM's. They simply provide the customer service to you and ...

Yeah, they think we're stupid, or something at times I'm sure if you ask around here you might be able to find a broker who is able to match your rates. I'm also getting under $4/rt on the minis and treasuries with one of my brokers - with the statements and rate sheets to prove it - and yet they still try to get over....
