1. Bid/Ask volume indicator: I meant breaking out the contract volume On the Bid versus On The Ask. TT (Trading Technologies) has AVOL and BVOL indicators. ATAS combines it into one indicator (see below): bid-ask-volume (1) Is the contract volume on the Bid. (2) Is the contract volume on the Ask. (3) Is the Delta (difference) between the two.

I've asked our developers to add it. It will be in the formula list shortly!

Hello Mike, I plan on joining you guys for the AMA.

Anyways I was going to ask this at the AMA, but do you guys have a full break down of costs/fees/commission/etc. for using IronBeam and FireTip X?

By the way, I have been doing some reading on here, and I appreciate how you guys have been approaching suggestions and questions.

Hey there -

Thanks for reaching out. We treat every customer individually and set up everything custom per account from a platform, margin, and commission standpoint. We work with a wide range of customer types; the customer who's running an algorithm colocated at the CME datacenter is going to have vastly different requirements from us than the farmer who just needs to sell come corn contracts 8 months out and hold.

Typically we just have a brief conversation with our prospective customers and figure out what their goals are and what kind of margins and software they need from us to be the most successful and we will send them a commission proposal from there.

I've attached our fee schedule along with a dummy commission schedule. We give futures.io members very competitive rates.

We do support NinjaTrader licenses that were purchased prior to March of 2015.

My NinjaTrader license was purchased in July, 2016. As a Canadian customer, Ninja referred me to GFF as my IB with trades executed by IRONBEAM, and a $10/mo Ninjatrader patform cost. As I'm understanding the costs in the business and shopping for a new broker, I realize that I'm paying too much on round-turn commissions with GFF.

In addition to featuring your Firetip X platform on Thursday's webinar, please show us how to keep our costs down while using our chosen trading platforms. Would you break down the costs for me using NT and being a Canadian trader?

Thank you,
Raymond

Oops. I missed reading this post prior to making my post. I'm reviewing the commision schedule.

If there are additional costs for Canadians, please explain them. I had an IB say that my cost would be higher than American clients.

Raymond -

Direct Ironbeam customers do not incur additional costs based of where they are located (we don't charge Canadian customers anything extra).

I can't speak for Introducing Brokers or other firms as they control their own commission rates. So I unfortunately wouldn't be able to outline their costs for you. Your best bet would be to call the broker for an explanation, I am sure they would be happy to help.

other brokers seem to have offers or offer free trading platforms eg sierra charts, multicharts etc which make them attractive.. is there any plan for that by ironbeam in the near future? Firetip X doesnt seem have on advanced chart trading with OCO brackets if not mistaken. Also do you set up SIM accounts for your clients?
