Which Future firm due you use to trade the S&P's

Thanks


AND WHY??

Lind Waldock, reason because they are MF Global and they are one of the largest futures trading firms. around $10 for a round turn (buy and sell) and you can trade with your mobile. Also no hidden fees. You can get a charting package from them for $30/mnth with real time pricing which is a dynamite price and definetly worth it.

There's no reason anyone should be paying more than $4.5 a round trip on futures. Use IB, Infinity or Tradestation in that order. Russell futures are currently $3.6 and ES $4 a round trip on IB even if you trade only once a month (i.e. no volume discount).

IB and Tradestation are my favourites. IB - Reputed firm with low commisions and a reliable trading platform. Tradestation - Low commisions , fairly reliable platform, excellent charting, and great value for money, if you are going to create/program trading systems or strategies. P.S - If you are paying more than $3 roundtrip for the e-minis, then you are paying too much.

How do you get $3 round trip with IB?

If you're using IB you're paying more than $3 per roundturn. In fact, with the latest commission change you're paying $4. Used to be $4.80. Either way, lots of low prices out there. I use IB because I think they have the best financials and have an insured, universal account from which you can trade stocks, futures, etc.

By using IB as the data source, you can also get very cheap charting. I happen to use Ensign.

You pay about 70 cents more with Tradestation for roundtrip, but get charting for FREE. With 10 rountrip trades of course.
