Hi smwinc,

Thanks for your question.

This is definitely being worked on. There is a patent issue with TT. We had to make this adjustment to the platform as a work around. We do believe this issue will be resolved soon. Keep your mouse on the price column and the depth will be shown.

Best regards,

Tom
Ah, I thought that might be the case (the patent problem). I understand - that's not really Infinity's fault then. I actually remember when Harris (TT's CEO) filed the original lawsuit against Kingstree LLC years ago, back before everyone had to abide by TT's patent. Clearly they realised just how much (extra) money they could make - everyone's basically in the same boat now. Patsystems, Ecco, etc have had to create minor 'tweaks' to their price ladders also to make them different.

Thanks for the response.

FS,

I see what you mean, but that is exchange level formating. It's how grains have always been formatted.

2 = 1/4
4 = 1/2
6 = 3/4

Best regards,

Tom
Curious that other brokers can customize their software to display the format as you like it, though.

How it is sent to the exchange shouldn't be impacted by how it is shown on your screen.

Just a thought.

Hi FS,

Thanks for your post.

AT was designed for speed and stability. Certain customizations or add ons could compromise those core principles. Adjusting the data feed is something we aren't currently looking at.

Having said that, I do appreciate any comments or suggestions you have in regards to the Infinity AT platform.

Best regards,

Tom

Hi John,

Thanks for your comment.

You can definitely trade electronic grains with AT. As you know grains are extremely volatile and at times can reach maximum daily price limits. Because of this we set our default daytrade margins for grains to 1/2 of exchange minimums. Right now AT margins for Wheat are $3,000, Beans $2,400, Corn $700. Minimum account size to trade grains is $5,000, but I would recommend nothing less than $10,000. The grains are going to get even more volatile with summer approaching.

Best regards,

Tom

Crude just traded thru $120 today.

Any info you can share with the community about the NYMEX contracts such as CL, NG, HO, RB, QM, QG would be welcome.

Also any ICE contracts like WTI and NSEA as well.

Thanks again,

Hi FS,

Yes, you can trade any NYMEX Energy (regular or mini) thru AT.

AT doesn't currently write to the ICE exchange. The plan is to offer the Russell 2000 when it transfers for September trading.

Best regards,

Tom
