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.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
