That sounds fantastic! Yes, Trade Futures 4 Less (TF4L) is a division of Stage 5 Trading Corp. TF4L is founded on the principle that every client should receive the highest level of personalized service, advanced technology, responsive risk management, and quality trading platforms.
The services at both Stage 5 and TF4L are quite similar. I recommend contacting a broker to discuss the services in more detail and to create a customized brokerage solution that hopefully fits your trading needs/goals.
Hopefully, you will find what you are looking for and join the team/community!
Best,
Anthony

I'm running into this dilemma with CQG, that the execution is sometimes horrible. I've seen live trades where the prpice was standing on my target for 1 minute 54 seconds (slow Asian market, ES e-mini) and the trade didn't close. Many many times, on slow markets the price has to touch the target (limit orders) multiple times to get filled. I'm using CQG thru one of the clearing brokers, i'm not really sure if this cannot be beat with a better brokerage.
I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving and holiday break. Thank you for your post and reaching out to Stage 5. Stage 5 has access to many different data & execution feeds. Stage 5 offers connectivity through many feeds like the S5 Trader (GAIN), CQG/Continuum, Rithmic, CTS, TT, as well as other popular feeds. I believe there are many factors that can play into traders execution speed and reliability. For example, I believe hard wired connections are much better than wireless (wifi) connections. This is in addition to your specific ISP that could cause your connection to have issues outside that of each data/execution feed being provided.
With all that being said, I feel certain execution feeds and data centers are better for specific traders depending on their location and the exchange/products they are trading. For example, a trader located in Europe that trades Eurex Products where the exchange is located in Germany, may be better off routing their trade through a data center in Europe vs one in Chicago. This way the trade leaves the trader's computer in Europe then route through the European data center on its way to the exchange in Germany. This would cut down on latency compared to a trader that sends an order from the trader's computer located in Europe, then it routes through Chicago on it's way back to the exchange in Germany.
Please feel free to reach out to Stage 5 for a free one on one platform consultation with a broker to discuss your unique trading environment and available options in more detail. They should hopefully help you find a solution to enhance your trading goals.
