I find the whole idea of an "assigned broker" a bit creepy. I prefer the Interactive Brokers style where you can anonymously make a million or blow your account without worrying about someone looking over your shoulder.

 

 

That just cracked me up. lol Not sure, why but it was funny..and true. lol

Can someone explain to me who uses Infinity, why one would not just go through TransAct Futures? Isnt the Infinity platform a reproduction of TransAct's platform?

Why use a middleman?

 

I am demo-ing platforms right now, and will be demo-ing these soon...I just wanted to know why I should not just go straight to TransAct for the demo?

I absolutely LOVE Infinity. I usually get filled on a 50 contract ES trade in 1 second, sometimes 2 at the most. And Tom will take very good care of you! :)

Hi Disco Scottie,

 

Does Infinity require some minimum number of trades before some kind of fees kick in? Also, how much is a round trip ES contract?

 

Thanks,

Armand

There's no minimum number of trades, 50 contracts is what I happen to be comfortable with. The round trip fee will depend on how much $$$ you have in your account, it's a negotiable amount. But I think you'll be very pleased. PM me if you'd like contact info with them.

I have to disagree with all the favorable Infinity comments here. I was whacked inactivity fees and had my commissions bumped up all without notification. When I signed up with them I explicitly asked if there were volume minimums and inactivity charges and they said, "NO".

The platform is just a white label of the Transact AT - so if that is the attraction you might as well sign up with Transact and get a lower commission rate to boot!

I am curious as to some of the specifics such as:

 

What were the "inactivity fees" and how long did it take for them to come into play?

What percent were your commissions bumped up?

What was their response when you confronted them about you "explicitly" asking them if there were minimums?

How long ago did this happen?

 

After reading this I contacted a friend that has accounts with several brokers and that I knew hadn't taken a trade through Infinity this year yet. He confirmed that he has never received a "no activity" fee and his commissions were still mid $4.

 

Any more specific information about your situation would be greatly appreciated.

 

Also, with your comment about going through Infinity versus Transact...many times it's about customer service and being able to get through when you need them the most.

Hi Infinity_Tom,

 

Do you know if there is some minimum number of trades that are required to avoid an inactivity fee. If so, what number of trades would that be.

 

Thanks,

Armand

Thanks Tom!

 

These are very low commissions for the Eurex.

When trading for example the FESX and making a profit of 100 € after Com - will the profit be quoted in EUR or converted into USD??

nosast - Tom quoted you MARGINS, not COMMISSIONS. Two very different things. Make sure you get BOTH in writing.

I am a trial user for the Infinity At/transact demo and have a few concerns:

 

Where do you hold orders - server side or client computers?

if I / for instance / have to reboot my computer, Infinity AT lost all my orders/brackets/stops from previous session or its able to pull/recover all the orders like nothing happend?

 

Is there any difference between demo and live account in terms of quality of data feed?

I've noticed a significant lag compare to eSignal data feed using MC and two data feeds.

 

Is it possible to place a one click stop limit order using a DOM instead of default stop market order?

 

Thanks

Hi Z,

 

Thanks for your interest.

 

All orders are immediately sent to the exchange. The OCO functionality of "intelligent" orders such as brackets, trailing stops, stops to breakeven is handled differently. The intelligence is held on your computer, so even though a bracket is sitting on the exchange if you close down your platform or a communication stoppage occurs between your PC and our servers, both orders will be at risk of getting filled.

 

The Simulator has no memory so PNL, and some other functions are not held over if you close down the platform.

 

At certain times our systems engineers perform testing on the simulator this may impact data feed speed at times, but overall you should be experiencing a fast data feed with AT. If you aren't after several trials let me know. There might be a connection issue between you and us and we will take a look at that.

 

It is possible to customize the platform to place stop limits. This can be achieved by adjusting default button actions under the main properties dialog.

It is a little involved so I won't take up anymore space with instructions here. PM me and I will contact you and help you set up this custom order set.

 

Best regards,

 

Tom

Are GTC orders available with the AT platform yet?

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
