Absolutely nothing on Q Trader's part, I was actually very surprised at how good the platform was and that it had not been on my radar up until very recently. I was using it for my intra-day ES trades which are based on reading order flow, and short term S/R levels in fast markets and reacting quickly and this is obviously very possible with Q Trader as it offers everything X_Trader does, it's just that I have been using X_Trader for a long, long time and am most comfortable with it, it's like an extention of my hand. I will use Q Trader in the future to execute options on futures, loved the simplicity of the options in the platform and head and shoulders above X_Trader there, and also to trade spreads likely (I am not a fan of the auto spreader). The reasons were very specific to me.
Hi @bathrobe. Great to hear you are a fan of X_TRADER. Are you aware that we have built extensive support for options trading on the TT platform? This includes a Volatility Curve Manager, Options Trade Monitor and an Electronic Eye.
@TradingTech Hi, yes I am testing out in demo the new TT Platform, love what you have done with the options, vol curve manager is great. A smaller thing I love is the way you select the options for a strategy just by clicking on them. (small but good idea)
I think X_Trader is much easier to read when someone lifts or hits the market, the initial red for selling and then white for adding at that price, or green if someone lifts seems to register with me, you can tell it was built by people trading that way (reading the dom). Very simplistic scenario but if you have a level, say 2300.00, and someone comes in and hits 2299.75 for 10, someone lifts 2300 for 40, someone hits .75 with 3-10 contracts a few times and someone lifts 150 at 2300, this is much easier for me to see in X_Trader. This is when and how I execute and it was easiest for me to read with X_Trader. You gotta do what works for you though, I am just some guy on the internet.

I had a long talk with 2 people at CQG yesterday and it seems that they are finally taking my pleas for a flatten button on the DOM seriously. They said it should be on the next major release ie in 4-6 months. They put it on the mobile platform but not on anything else. Frankly they are the only DOM on the planet without a flatten/liquidate/close button so it's about time, glad to see they might be finally listening to customers!
