Ensigh Windows & Infinity Platform

[Begginer 10]

Hi everyone. I am trying to learn how to trade with the e-mini stock index futures.(YM,ES).

I use Ensign Windows SIM for practice and that software will be my future charting package.

 

I am thinking about Infinity Futures for order execution platform. I heard good things about them.

 

Does anybody use these two packages together for trading? What are your experiences? Is this a good combination for someone who is a total beginner? What are the costs of doing business in this version?

 

Thank you in advance!

Ensign is a good platform. I've been using it for years. Support is very helpful and emails are responded to quickly.

 

Careful with the sim in Ensign though - it automatically fills limit orders on a print so you wont get a good sense of how you will perform with questionable executions.

 

No idea about Infinity.

Dude, thanks for your reply. Too bad there is no response from people who use both platforms in real-time trading.I got a recommendation to use IB as order execution platform, but it seems a lot of things with them are complicated.

Id stay away from IB.

 

Ive never used them, but I hear their support sucks. Believe me, you want someone who will pick up a phone in 2-3 rings and get you out of a position NOW when the proverbial hits the fan - as this tends to happen when your ISP or PC goes down as well - dont ask me why!!
