CTS T4's Brian Murphy (Director of Business Development) - Ask Me Anything (AMA)
Welcome to futures io.
(If you already have an account, login at the top of the page)
futures io is the largest futures trading community on the planet, with over 100,000 members. At futures io, our goal has always been and always will be to create a friendly, positive, forward-thinking community where members can openly share and discuss everything the world of trading has to offer. The community is one of the friendliest you will find on any subject, with members going out of their way to help others. Some of the primary differences between futures io and other trading sites revolve around the standards of our community. Those standards include a code of conduct for our members, as well as extremely high standards that govern which partners we do business with, and which products or services we recommend to our members.
At futures io, our focus is on quality education. No hype, gimmicks, or secret sauce. The truth is: trading is hard. To succeed, you need to surround yourself with the right support system, educational content, and trading mentors – all of which you can find on futures io, utilizing our social trading environment.
With futures io, you can find honest trading reviews on brokers, trading rooms, indicator packages, trading strategies, and much more. Our trading review process is highly moderated to ensure that only genuine users are allowed, so you don’t need to worry about fake reviews.
We are fundamentally different than most other trading sites:
We are here to help. Just let us know what you need.
We work extremely hard to keep things positive in our community.
We do not tolerate rude behavior, trolling, or vendors advertising in posts.
We firmly believe in and encourage sharing. The holy grail is within you, we can help you find it.
We expect our members to participate and become a part of the community. Help yourself by helping others.
You'll need to register in order to view the content of the threads and start contributing to our community. It's free and simple.
When I click on an existing order in the Working orders box and choose to Revise, a new window opens up with 4 choices. Cancel is obvious and it works, but:
1. What is the difference between Pull and Remove, they both do the same and cancel the order?
2. When I click on Revise nothing happens, although I expect a window to open up where I could manually change the number. Is this a glitch?
Thanks...

1. If a spread has negative values than you should be able to enter as you would a positive number. I usually see negative numbers on the mini dow spread and was able to enter those values. Please look at this again and let me know if it is still an issue.
2. Yes you can definitely save this feature. After selecting Advanced from the main properties are you then saving the layout?
3. I will pass along this suggestion
Thanks Brian

1. Pull means pull the order from the market. Cancel means cancel this order ticket so it disappears. Remove means if multiple orders are in the order ticket you can highlight one and click remove so it is no longer being displayed in the ticket but it is not pulled from the market.
2. You must first make a change to the order then click revise to send the change to the market.
Thanks Brian

We display without decimals because that is the format sent out by the Exchange. Try this for me. Go to the main properties and click the second tab called Contract. On the left hand side the second option is Price Buffering. Change yours to Fast and let me know if that helps. We give options because some computers can not handle this amount of bandwidth.
Thanks Brian

Hi Brian,
First of all I am very excited about the auto spreader; I am a Velocity customer and about 6-8 or so months ago you were available as a Velocity front end and then you were no longer available on the list of front ends available. I have contacted both Velocity and you guys and no one can give me an answer on when CTS will be available with Velocity.
You guys have a great platform and thanks for doing this AMA.
Take Care,
Chris
