IB tick data will still be crap... invest some funds (~$1200/yr depending on what you pick) on IQFeed and get your CME fees waived by opening an account with another broker that supports NT, etc... you can always chart off IQFeed with MD/NT/MC/TS and trade off IB with ButtonTrader/BracketTrader/NT7 ... I have been looking at their booktrader lately... but I personally prefer ButtonTrader if doing IB...
the Velocity Portal was one of the reasons for which I switched my accounts from Dormant/Mirus over to them... their only issue is funds are only by wire in or out, but one gets used to that... I love their leaderboard... nothing like being able to compare how you are doing against others... specially since trading is a rather solitary thing.. I personally have separate accounts for discretionary and strategy trading, so I was not too worry about two platforms sending in orders at the same time or anything like that...
I asked this question long ago about velocity traders.unfortunately,they do not accept accounts from canada.About the plat forms,all have free platforms but ninja is never free for live trading.We need to buy it paying1200$$$ for life time licence or can lease for 50$$a month.I m thinking to open a new account by
OPTIMUS TRADING GROUP..commission is 4$ round(E MINIS) and no data fee.Look like good.Any body have any experience with them?Thanks in advance for Any feed back.I Have account with IB ( INTERACTIVE) but can not use ninja live.the current version of IB is not the one we can use with ninja for live trading and previous version
have not gaurenty for the performance.
if you have IB, look at ButtonTrader or BracketTrader... and for charting you are better off spending the $1400 with Multicharts... IMO...
I dont know about optimus, other than today when I was browsing the forum from my iphone I noticed an add from them on the site..
usually when I dont know anything about the IB or find it hard to get honest feedback.. I look at the FCM for whom they introduce.. in this case Vision Financial... which is well capitalized when compared to similar size piers... and they have significant customer funds which is also one of my criterias.... see attached comparison.. I included others that I believe might open the account for you being from canada, and the one you have now..
Thanks for your reply.Im using ninja since long time and hard for me to switch for an other charting software.
i did check button and other platforms.in fact i did use Tsim plus for live trades with ib.In my opinion,one plat
form,with dom and charts is better than u have 2 or three for different matters.SPecially,if some one want to use a STRATEGY.NINJA has good features for testing and or using a Strategy.
