Favorite Emini Brokers

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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

 

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.

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?

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,

 

Thales

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....

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.

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.

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.

    • Date: 26th April 2024. Alphabet Easily Beat Earnings Predictions But Focus Shifts to Today’s PCE Data. Microsoft and Alphabet’s earnings reports beat expectations pushing the NASDAQ to the top of the charts. The Bank of Japan keep interest rates unchanged applying pressure on the Japanese Yen. The Yen Index declines 0.36% and is down 40% against the USD over the past 5 years. The US GDP growth rate falls below its 2.5% expectations, reading 1.6%, but economists advise the Fed may only cut once in 2024! The market turns its attention to the Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect to fall from 2.8% to 2.6%. USA100 – Alphabet Easily Beat Analysts’ Earnings Predictions and Sees its P/E Ratio Fall! The price of the NASDAQ ended the day higher and rose to a slightly higher high. As a result, the index is close to forming a traditional bullish trend and making Wednesday’s decline a retracement or medium-term correction. In terms technical analysis, indicators are mainly indicating a reverting price condition where the asset cannot maintain longer term momentum. However, momentum indications provide a slight bullish bias. The upward price movement is being driven by earnings reports from Microsoft and Alphabet which beat earnings expectations. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ while Alphabet is the third most influential. Alphabet’s earnings beat expectations by 21.61% and revenue rose more than $6 billion. As a result, the price of the stock rose 11.56% after market close. Furthermore, Microsoft’s Earnings Per Share beat Wall Street’s expectations by 3.40% and revenue by 1.50%. The stock rose by 4.30% after market close and is close to trading at the all-time high. However, investors should note that from the “magnificent 7”, Alphabet and Meta have the lowest Price to Earnings ratio. Meaning these stocks are the most likely to be trading below their intrinsic value. However, investors should note that negatives for the stock market in general remain. This also supports the bias shown by technical analysis. The GDP growth rate fell considerably below expectations while inflation data continues to show signs of rising prices. Investors will closely be monitoring today’s Core PCE Price Index which is the most watched index by the Federal Reserve. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to fall from 2.8% to 2.6%. If the index reads more than 0.3%, a rate cut will become unlikely making stocks less attractive. Whereas, if the PCE Price Index is not as high as expectations, Bond Yields will likely decline, as will the US Dollar and a rate cut will be put back on the table. As a result, investors may look to take advantage of the strong earnings and continue purchasing stocks. USDJPY – BOJ Hold Interest Rates Unchanged! The price of the USDJPY exchange rate again rose to an all-time recent high after increasing in value for 3 consecutive days. Trend and momentum-based indicators point towards a higher price. However, the exchange rate is trading within the overbought range of most oscillators and is also showing a divergence pattern. Both are known to indicate a decline, but not necessarily a complete change of trend. The Bank of Japan’s statement from earlier this morning was largely “dovish” and gave no clear indication that the central bank wishes to keep rising interest rates. However, shortly the Governor will answer questions from journalists and may give a more hawkish tone. Either way, investors are mainly concentrating on if the Federal Government will again opt to intervene within the currency market. Most economists believe the intervention will only come if the USD continues to rise and it will not be before the Core PCE Price Index. Always trade with strict risk management.
