Just getting back into bond futures trading and sampled a few platforms, which one offered is best? Which broker? Any insights would be very helpful on cutting down demo time.

Thanks in advance
Joe

What are you going to be trading ? Packs ? Bundles ? Outrights ?

Probably most of them are about the same, and a personal preference.

I have heard good things about NinjaTrader and Jigsaw tools on bonds, although I have not traded with Jigsaw. XTrader is also good, but more expensive,

Use the Brokers subforum to discuss brokers, and the Platforms subforum to discuss platforms. Otherwise we have split topics that are difficult to manage.
