Hi,

As far as I know TT AutoSpreader is the gold standard albeit pricey.

I think CQG Spreader is probably in 2nd place but I have not used it.

Can anyone reccomend a good trading platform for live execution of futures spreads orders...where the spread (perhaps synthetic) can be quoted and traded with one click.

Right now I have to use two DOMs which works but is obviously not the best.

Want to move to TT or CQG but they are both $$$$ so want to see what else is out there.

Any feedback or help much appreciated. Thanks.

Transatlantic

I’m not a spread trader but Cunningham Trading Systems (CTS) is another option and it’s a bit less expensive than TT and CQG. I’ve heard it’s relatively popular amongst Chicago-based traders. Sierra Chart can be used for spread trading but I’m not sure if you can trade synthetic spreads, it might only be exchange listed.
