I've been trading with TDA for few years now. I started day trading futures recently and pay $300-500 for commissions on busy days, which is about 30% of my daily gains.
I'm considering NTB with Phillip Capital. PC looks much bigger firm than Dorman and does business internationally. Their website sucks tho. Can't believe in 2017 we get to see a website with a design from 1990s.
I read in earlier posts that Phillip Capital allows ACH transfers however when I emailed to NTB account services I was told that none of the brokerages support ACH since it's not secure (or smth like that)
Has anyone has experience with sending ACH transfer to Phillip Capital. On their website they say they have it, but on NTB withdrawal page we have an option for wires and checks. I wonder if we can directly send and withdraw via ACH from Phillip Capital not through NTB.
Anyone has any idea?
Also please share your experience with NTB and Phillip Capital or Dorman
I traded PC and NTB for about a year. I mailed a check to open the account... that felt a little sketchy. Guy on the phone was like make out a check to NTB and mail it to me and we'll set up an account... but once it was set up, I was able to link the PC account to my capital one 360 checking account and transfer funds. FWIW. Possible but maybe not published or supported. Like if you can originate ACH from another account, it works, but PC and NTB have no real portal from which you can manage ACH from their side.
I signed up with Phillips Capital / NT a couple weeks ago and I did a wire transfer. They were great to work with, and I was all setup with my margin account open the day after the funds posted. Compared to other companies I have used in the past they were by far the quickest to get me setup.
I haven't made a withdraw yet, but I imagine wire transfers would be an option.
I first day of learning how to trade starts today! I'm very excited about my new adventure.
My first question of many many questions that I have to all of you guys is that I Understand that NinjaTrader is the Platform of choice and so which broker should I go with? I want to start off on the right foot!
After choosing the Platform and Broker to use, where do I go from there? What is my first item on the list that I need to start off learning?
You dont have to chose broker right now, just go to Ninjatrader site and open demo account, it is done in just few clicks.
You will get live data and you can start learning how to trade. On youtube and NT site are videos about how to use platform, so you can start from there
@ NinjaTrader
possibility of adding Korean futures products (mini Kospi 200 futures,Kospi 200 futures,Kosdaq 150 Futures) are liquid and tradable via CQG/Continuum data feed.
You mean you wish that they will add or they plan ?
No one will add this - its problem of interest and also with korean regulation.Look at IB - they commissions are the best in the industry on most of futures...like for nikkei where I pay 34 Y per site vs 51 (plus10 for CQG) at AMP.But its not the case with Kospi - Ib takes TWICE as local brokerage and 4 times more for stock futures.You need to go with local ... or forget about Kospi
Hi Tommip
But I using Ninjatrader platform and i thing korean brokers dont offer trading via Ninjatrader platform. Data feed via CQG/Continuum 42 USD.External data feed via Esignal its about 300USD (esignal data access only service).
