Global Futures, clearing thru RCG, provide the lowest commission I ever see for trading with X-Trader, that costs from $650 month for one exchange, and the commission all comprensive for ES are $2.32 round turn and for 6E $ 3.22 r/t, and now they give a $300 day margin promotion on ES.

This can be worth for who trades more than 500 lots month.

Does the rate include the exchange fees? The exchange fees is about $2.30/rt for ES.

Would love to hear any feedback on Global futures. I'm looking for an additional broker, that offers a decent front end primarily for ES and CL futures, with OCO/bracketing capabilities. Global appears to meet my requirements but I have zero testimonials on them.

I had looked at Velocity and though they appear good, they do not accept Canadian accounts. I have a Mirus account, but R trader is basic and I'm not a NT user.

On Ratings for Globalfutures.com there are some reviews, but dunno how is their reliability.

I'm not with GlobalFutures cos I'm not totally off Ninjatrader, and they have competitive commission only with X-Trader, and offer only PatSystem for NT.
Anyway what i like is that they have my language, quick and good, support desk and others languages too.

$650/month for usage of XTrader?!?! What does this thing do that justifies that price tag?

Some brokers like Velocity offer it for 'free', they bundle it with commissions much like 'free' NinjaTrader, etc.

Check out the X-Trader thread.

This is the X-Trader price, other brokers offer it for bigger price.
BTW almost platforms have fee, almost hidden into commission, if u go on Advantage Futures site you can see all platform fee they charge.

Hi im currently looking for a "beginner" Broker.
The 300- 500 $ daymarging for the esmini seems to look interesting.

Does anyone know what quality the globalfutures datafeed has?
