Best All In One Broker

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, other than IB, can anyone tell me about a really good broker that lets you trade stocks, futures, forex all at one place. I know TOS does this, but their executions when it comes to futures is not the best. The orders sit on the exchange and that's a problem. So, if you have any real experience at a broker that is good or know of someone who is very satisfied with a all in one broker, please post. Thank you.

MB also offers futures, stocks, forex.

They are highly rated for forex.

I still have not gotten futures to work with my Ninja. Don't yet know what's wrong.

Futures/stocks requires a separate balance/account from Forex.

 

I really wanted to use Ninja with equities, but so far, have had too many problems/lockups with the interface between Ninja and the brokerage. I've tried TD, MB so far, but not IB.

I spoke to TOS, and they said their stops are NOT SEEN by the market, as they are stored on TOS servers (NOT stored on your computer, like Ninja does, and NOT at a market maker, who can also take out your stops, and NOT at the exchange where it is viewable by the entire market). So, they are safe, and fast, and not seen by the market, so they are not hit as often as viewable stops. I have found that viewable stops by the market are nearly always hit.

I use both TOS and Tradestation. I would have to choose TOS over Tradestation. I think it would be good to hear some specifics on what you have learned regarding the negatives of TOS?

TOS stands for Think Or Swim now owned by TD Ameritrade.

 

It would be good to hear from the original poster on why he does not like TOS so we can help him figure out what might be a better choice. Some brokers tend to focus or have a specialty in one area and it may benefit them to do business with them.

Trade station is as good or as bad as IB.

There is not one reliable and proven broker who falls into the category of what you requested,

Ecry platform breaks down once a month and customer don’t have access even to a phone line to change their orders,

 

I don’t know what your experience is but if you’re a newbie the best thing for you is to choose between TS and IB at least you know your money is safe and someone is on the other side of the phone

Would you happen to know if all the above about TOS are also true with Open E Cry?

    • Date: 21st February 2025.   European PMI Disappoint, Weighing on Euro Before German Elections   The Euro is the first currency to witness the volatility on this month’s PMI reports. The French, German and British PMI data have resulted in the Euro being the worst-performing currency of the European Session so far. However, will the Euro continue to decline throughout the day? European Purchasing Managers’ Indexes The French Purchasing Managers Index was the first European index to be made public. The release resulted in the Euro instantly declining 0.24%. The main concern from the French data was the Services PMI which fell from 48.2 to 44.5. Previously the market was expecting the data to remain more or less unchanged. The weak data triggered the decline which came to a halt after Germany’s PMI was released.     The German Manufacturing PMI read 0.5 points higher than previous expectations and the Services PMI was 0.2 points lower. The data from Germany was a relief for Euro investors and the price rose 0.12% higher. However, traders should note that the price of the EURUSD continues to remain 0.20% lower than yesterday’s close. The price of the EURUSD will now depend on the PMI data from the US. The value of the US Dollar will depend on its PMI release this afternoon and the Consumer Sentiment Index. Analysts expect both the US Services and Manufacturing PMI data to remain above the 50.00 level in the expansion zone. German Elections 2 Days Away Germany is set to hold a general election this Sunday, February 23rd, following the collapse of the coalition of social democrats, liberals, and greens. Given the country's highly proportional electoral system, German polls provide a strong indication of potential government formations post-election. The main concern for Germany is the AFD party who are Far-Right Nationalists. Currently, ahead in the polls are CDU (centre-right), and AFD (far right), followed by the SPD (centre-left). Traders should note that the results of the elections are likely to trigger strong volatility on Monday, but also influence volatility today. Economists may become further concerned if the far-right gains power for the first time due to uncertainty. If the government, similar to France, is unable to form a coalition, this would also be a concern for the Eurozone. Furthermore, the Euro this week is also under pressure from comments from members of the European Central Bank. ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta said to journalists that officials need not slow interest rate cuts, as January's 2.5% inflation is still expected to reach the 2.0% target this year. He also advised the European economy is weaker than previously expected. EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is trading above the 75-bar Exponential Moving Average and 100-bar Simple Moving Average on the 2-hour chart. However, the price is moving away from the key resistance level at 1.05058 indicating the price is losing momentum. The short-term volatility is indicating the price is retracing downwards. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is trading below the 200-bar SMA and is also forming clear lower lows and highs. Simultaneously, the US Dollar Index is trading above the 200-bar SMA on the 5-minute chart confirming no current conflicts. Currently, the US Dollar is the best-performing currency of the day attempting to regain losses from the past 2 weeks. Watch today’s Live Analysis Session for more signals as they develop!   Key Takeaway Points: Weak French Services PMI triggered an initial Euro decline, but German PMI provide a slight relief. However, EURUSD remains lower than yesterday’s close. The Euro’s direction now depends on the US PMI reports, with analysts expecting US data to stay in expansion territory. Sunday's German election could drive volatility, especially if the far-right AFD gains power or if coalition formation proves difficult. ECB official Fabio Panetta suggested no need to slow rate cuts, citing weaker-than-expected economic performance and expected inflation decline. Always trade with strict risk management.
