One's trading platform is a personal choice and I'd suggest that you give them both an honest try. Some people love NT; I can't stand it (and I bought a lifetime license many years ago). But how...

You don't want to combine SC with Rithmic at this point. They will not support it. Also, while TT might be capable of connecting to HKEX, I think CQG is your best bet and I don't think Rithmic...

Watch your asses out there boys, the HSI has lost its damn mind :)

Up 340 points in 3 minutes at the open, down 350 points over the next 7 minutes.

Last night I had my single best trade ever on HSI. The premise was shorts in the hole covering and profit taking from Friday's monster selloff -- I bought 22534, looking for potentially a multi-day...

It certainly can be. Of course, if you are willing to give it a few ticks (as should be the case most of the time anyway) and you have good trade location, these don't matter as much. I don't want to...

The thing about the Nikkei that I don't like is this: you never get a free look. That is, if you join the bid, and you get filled, 9 times out of 10 you will now be long at the offer. Or worse: you...

There's that balance to reach between taking what's there, and letting the market pay you for taking risk, and it's a fine line... Last night I took an opening trade for 100 ticks,...

I think they meant only for the OSE, perhaps all but definitely the MJNK contract. I have had zero issues with any other contract, only this one.
