Favorite Emini Brokers

am considering oec. are they an introducing broker or are they like a data center broker. which one might have the fastest fill rate?

What is a data center broker?

[texbest 10]

well, being a newby (sorta) i have always thought there was a primary broker with data feed capabilities such as oec with their bx data center and the smaller brokerages would buy data feed from them. and if true i was wondering if the larger brokerages have perhaps a small advantage in speed of execution of contracts such as reportedly lightspeed has because they moved close to the nasdaq building.

infinity is a SCAM broker, they trade against you and the customer service is shocking.

[maxima 10]

Bullshit. I had an account with them for a year and I asked specifically if there is any posibility is my orders will be routing not to an exchange and I had firm answer No.

 

So if you have an evidence they execute orders against their own position on the market (bucket shop) then please go to the court.

 

If not then shut the **** up. Loser

 

P.S. customer service I had from Patrick was the frendliest I ever had. Try IB for a change

[Vandelay 10]

Why would they trade against you? They can make more money with no risk by just collecting commissions.

What do you base this statement on? This is a pretty serious allegation, so I would assume you have some proof and would be interested to see what you have.

[littlefish 10]

What difference does it make who trades against you? Somebody has to buy from you or sell to you anyway.

 

Either everybody is temporarily right or somebody is right and somebody is wrong. How many more options are there?

[MoreYummy 10]

If it is true, he probably means the order is not actually entered into exchange after it shows him its executed.

 

If it is true, then it is a big case to present it to NFA, or regulatory body to shut it down, since all future brokers are regulated in north america at least.

Unless you make consistent losing trades

and have a track record they can depend on,

otherwise I don't see any scheming criminal

who would dare to stick their neck out to bet against you.

I have never had one problem with Infinity, and my brokers are top notch as far as Service. I have sent non-urgent questions via email on weekends assuming I'd get an answer sometime Monday or Tuesday, and I have been surpised often to receive near instant responses.

 

I've never had so much as a questionable fill. Plenty of losing trades, for sure, but those are my responsibility, not Infinity's.

 

 

Best Wishes,

You are an idiot. Lost all your money and now you need to blame someone else. Guess what it's your fault.

they say in the fine print that they do take the other side of the trade...its called creating a market

[maxima 10]

I think you reffer to:

 

"TRANSACT, its managing

directors, officers, employees and/or any affiliate or parent company of TRANSACT or any floor broker utilized by

TRANSACT may be on the opposite side of orders in Commodity Interests placed for such Customer’s Account

provided that such transactions are in conformity with regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission

and the by-laws, rules and regulations of the Exchange on which such orders are executed."

 

It doesnt say that orders are going to a bucket shop doest it?

 

And this is not a fine print. It is one of the documents with normal size print you sign during the opening of the account.

 

Now if you cant read thats not anybody's problem

Resurrecting this thread

 

Has anyone with IB been able to negotiate better rates than what they post online?

 

Looking at some of the other brokers i am seeing commission rates better by ~50-80c RT at other firms....

 

Trying to see if i can eliminate as much of the vig as possible Its not much but it can quickly add up....

[emg 12]

im with postrock global. they have excellent rate. ask for Kevin.

[maxima 10]

I doubt you can negotiate anything with IB. they are like a great wall of china.

 

why do you need them anyway? :helloooo:

[macdfx 10]

What are your favorite Emini brokers .. and why?. There are so many of them and I am kinda confused.

 

Thx!

 

Try Transact or Infinity. Good platform, decent rates, especially for pikers.

 

And they are a regulated FCM broker, despite what the idiot posted above. You shouldn't have any problem trading with them for futures.

 

As for OEC (Open E Cry) - no comment.

[Retrobeast 10]

Apex Futures hands down especially if you decide to join Tide Traders.

You only need $3000 in the account to trade emini during the day and on top of this Craig Ross from Apex Futures and Rickster from Tide Traders are amazing.

[RunnerD 10]

I use united futures trading. I pay less then $4 round turn. I have only seen the platform go down once in 3 years and when it did, they answered the phone on the first ring.

[Retrobeast 10]

I have since jumped from Apex Futures to TransActFutures which is identical to Infinity.

Excellent service so far.

Call and ask for Bill Z, mention Mark H and tell him you are looking to get Trans Act futures trades for $3.98 a round trip per contract.

 

What moved me to Trans Act from Apex was the price along with being able to set a trailing stop on the fly after contracts have been bought.

 

No I do not get a kick back for my name being mentioned to Bill.

[philipwade 10]

Try using Tradestation. It may be a good option for you.

[obradovicmilica 10]

There are half a dozen or so that are consistently recommended by people here. IB, Mirus, Amp, OEC, Transact (I think) and maybe a couple of others are generally recommended.
