Best Futures Trading Software?
I’m an electronic/pit commodity futures trader with volume being 90/10, respectively. I trade a mix of technical and fundamental, with reasons for trades being based on fundamental and backed up with technical.
I’ve been looking at software, and am almost scared to try anything other than Tradestation 8. Is there anything out there that is better at utilizing market data and testing strategies?
I don’t expect to trade through Tradestation, instead I usually trade on the ladders through CQG. I use CQG trader basically because most people do, and it seems to be the quickest. I’ve also been told about Cunningham Trading Systems, but their website doesn’t give me much info about how their product…
So, can anyone give me a good idea of what software is the most nimble, understandable, worth it, and smart with new meaningful extras that put it in a class by itself?
Is tradestation really the best? There’s so much software out there, and tradestation seems to overshadow everyone else with marketing.
Professionals only please.
Reminder: I will be trading primarily commodity futures. I’m in love with think or swim’s design, but not ‘how technical their charts go’, and ability to personalize. Don’t get me wrong, if I was trading equity options, I would likely be all over it. Espeicially the CNBC tab, how cool? I called think or swim, and they don’t even cover two of the obscure domestic markets I specialize in. They’re really not up on their futures game.
OTTAWAY
For me tos and do their own clearing.
The tradestation and do little bit of salt have not had it go platform seems lot easier for me to use my eyes kinda glazed over.
