Broker/Platform for futures day trading

[keki]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie who's interested in day trading futures, and possibly options. What brokers/platforms do you use here in Oz? I'd be looking for one that has a good DOM feature (and simulator obviously ).

Thanks in advance!

Check out amp clearing....especially the new TT platform.

Cheers mate, will do. I think I found in an old thread something about AMP with CQG so will look a bit closer

I was looking at AMP, and have been trying a demo account and it seems good. If I open a live account I assume I'll have to pay a monthly data fee. If I want to trade the ftse100 and cac40 the data is $117 a month.
I've been trading CFDs and haven't made the move to futures yet..

what did you guys decide?
I have been trying amp demo with the metatrader platform
what else should i try

 

[CanOz]

Definitely try Sierra chart....seems one of the most reliable

 

[jjbinks]

just downloaded sierra.
Its not as intuitive to use as metatrader for me. I'll see how it goes next week!

Gee whiz. They must make a killing from "Ninjacators". Basic indicators for $97.

Surely there is enough on the platform with the ones they create in the Ninja Forums ?

How many indicators do you need before your charts look like a game of Galaga ?

Ha. It would vary between individual but I estimate 10. Is that close?

Hi CanOz,

How are you? What instruments are you actively trading nowadays?

Thanks,

I can execute through AMP easier enough, its the data to chart VP stuff causing the issues. Been trawling a few other forums and most ppl seem to have the same issue.

Think I will bite the bullet and just switch to Mulitcharts. AMP have a free version so will give it a crack

I'm well hito, yourself?

Hito, with a toddler and a new born, I don't get much trading done. I've taken a weekend job in my old career just to pay the bills. I'm a full time babysitter these days.

However, the Bund, the Dax and CL are always the main European time zone markets I trade.

Cheers,

CanOz
