the pricing includes a monthly reset which is not included in the standard Trading Combine price.


Many thanks for your kind (and very fast!) reply, which of course makes complete sense. On a brighter day, I might have looked more carefully and worked that out for myself - please excuse me; but thanks for the clarification!

It is T4.

Thanks!

Why do you use it? having cheaper alternatives like Sierra Charts with more options, does it have to do with execution or familiarity? I started trading futures on T4 but I haven't used it in a while and I believe they updated the software, it looks a bit different from when I used it. I would like to try it out

I suspect "Nebraska" using T4 because has something to do with the fact that he is a veteran floor trader - what I've seen is almost all floor traders gravitate towards it for some reason, plus it is rock solid.

Been using it since 2006, so familiarity really.

Can you please provide Top Step users a data source to go with Sierra Chart since they and Rithmic can't get along.

@TopstepTrader,

Even though the tradovate platform is provided, all the features from the software are not in place while a trader trading a combine using TST tradovate.

Atleast it is traders responsiblity to set this settings by them selves so they don't place the trade more than the contract limit and failing the rule.


https://tradovate.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035752033-How-do-I-set-a-Position-Limit-on-my-account-

Hope this gets enabled.

I know a friend who failed pro account twice due to this.

Yes, why technologically cripple traders - when settings are available in the platforms they need to be usable for a traders benefit. This disabling is unnecessary and detrimental.
