Stock Trading Tower

Recommended Posts

Does anyone use a good broker for stock trading that has a tower setup for the order managing similar to infinity futures' tower. Reasonable commissions would be a plus but I am mostly interested in a good order system with "drag and move" function for stop loss positioning. Intuitive and simple flow with a solid set of auto order functions.

 

I keep missing out on additional profits on my stock trades because of my broker's poor ordering system. Let me know if that is an adequate description of what I am looking for. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Cheers.

Not sure 100% but I recall Cybertrader being a platform that covers equities that would fit your needs. Charles Schwab now owns them so would check up on it.

 

Didn't Tradestation provide equities as well?

IB and tradestation do provide stock trading. I haven't tried either yet but I thought there might be someone out there that trades stocks and has some great things to say about some particular order system, in which case I would try that one first.

 

I will look into cybertrader.

 

Here is a picture of the infinity order tower. It doesn't need to be exactly the same but this is the idea. To adjust the stop level you just drag the cell up or down.

The features of Infinity AT is available in most order routing platforms now. The only difference I have seen is that some order management vendors provide different order types or Smart Orders. For example. CQG's price ladder can provide order types not supported by the exchanges as the orders are placed on the CQG servers before going to the exchange. Smart Orders are available such as Icebergs as well. (CQG is only FX and futures)

 

Tradestation provided similar functionality from what I can recall. Also check out Barclays Stockbrokers.... they have some tools similar to what you might need as well.

Ah, I've always heard that kind of setup referred to as a "DOM" (depth of market) or "ladder". Off the top of my head, Tradestation, Ninja, X Trader, Buttontrader, Sierra (only attached to charts though), and CQG have something similar to that.

 

Edit: Think or Swim also has a feature like this.

I missed noting one important attribute. I need the broker to be web based. I only need them for order entry and order management. Not for charting or research. I can't download software on my work computer. I have looked into thinkorswim with high hopes but their interface is not good and totally not intuitive IMO. From my understanding IB, Tradestation, etc. are all platforms which need to be downloaded to function which would not work for me.

 

I guess I am looking for something similar to a TDameritrade or Scottrade except I was interested in the DOM/tower trading set up but maybe that is only available with software based brokers.

 

Sorry for forgetting the web based issue on my original post.

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
