I really like the Tradovate platform and customer service people

  1. However, I have to wonder about the safety of my funds with them as an FCM.

    They will be migrating my account to Tradovate FCM (from Dorman) in a few weeks and I have to wonder about the "funds segregation"

    I saw in their CFTC FCM data from more than a decade ago that they had $0 funds segregated....

    Thoughts y'all?

  3. Interesting stats on NinjaTrader, the parent company no doubt.....

    But my understanding is that the Tradovate brand will continue as a separate company.....like ETrade and Morgan Stanley.

    Please correct me if I am misinformed...thank you

    i can never understand why AMP customer capital is so low lol. They have the lowest commissions and offer literally all the platforms out there. Can someone tell me why?

    Because AMP deals with only futures and FOPS. Which goes to show that the most heavily-intensive capital-carry is with stocks.

  7. I'd love it if Ninjatrader would offer Tradovate.

    I'm fairly happy with Ninjatrader as a broker, but I miss automated account activity/statements. Hell, I'm not even asking that much. Just let me watch a simple P&L graph online and save me from having to plot these things manually in Excel from PDFs.

    Your trading software does not have a journaling feature?
     
  10. I'm confused. How can I trade CL, PL, PA, SI, NQ, etc. commission free for a year for just $2400 a year? This makes no sense. I pay a fortune in commissions at IBKR and TOS. What is the catch? I must be missing something.
