Hi all,

I'm a newbie who's interested in day trading futures, and possibly options. What brokers/platforms do you use here in Oz? I'd be looking for one that has a good DOM feature (and simulator obviously ).

Thanks in advance!
 
Check out amp clearing....especially the new TT platform.
 
Cheers mate, will do. I think I found in an old thread something about AMP with CQG so will look a bit closer
 
I was looking at AMP, and have been trying a demo account and it seems good. If I open a live account I assume I'll have to pay a monthly data fee. If I want to trade the ftse100 and cac40 the data is $117 a month.
I've been trading CFDs and haven't made the move to futures yet..
 
what did you guys decide?
I have been trying amp demo with the metatrader platform
what else should i try
 
Definitely try Sierra chart....seems one of the most reliable
 
just downloaded sierra.
Its not as intuitive to use as metatrader for me. I'll see how it goes next week!
 
Also a fan of Ninjatrader - AMP or CGQ feeding the backend.
 
Gee whiz. They must make a killing from "Ninjacators". Basic indicators for $97.

Surely there is enough on the platform with the ones they create in the Ninja Forums ?

How many indicators do you need before your charts look like a game of Galaga ?

Ha. It would vary between individual but I estimate 10. Is that close?
 

Hi CanOz,

How are you? What instruments are you actively trading nowadays?

Thanks,

hito

I'm well hito, yourself?

Hito, with a toddler and a new born, I don't get much trading done. I've taken a weekend job in my old career just to pay the bills. I'm a full time babysitter these days.

However, the Bund, the Dax and CL are always the main European time zone markets I trade.

Cheers,

CanOz
