For high-speed order routing clients can choose between: CQG. Professional futures traders only use brokers offering tick-by-tick data. Why? Firstly, tick-by-tick data does not distort technical analysis. Secondly, order execution is faster and more precise. This is important. One single tick in your favour on, for example, the Eurostoxx50 future equals € 10 extra profit. Other brokers tend to provide ½ second snapshot quotes which result in inferior order execution. If you want to trade futures actively do not trade on the basis of ½ second snapshot quotes.
| CQG | |
|---|---|
| Futures | € 0,50 per lot per side $ 0,50 for futures in $ |
| Options | € 0,50 per option per side $ 0,50 for options in $ |
CQG offers up to 1.000 ticks per second. The traded market volume is the most precise available. CQG applies a monthly user charge of € 10. High-volume traders can opt for a flat fee of € 395 per month instead of paying the 0,50 per lot per side.

PERMANENT demo: NanoTrader users get a permanent demo in addition to their real account on the platform.
Information: telephone orders are allowed for opening and closing positions.
Information: In addition to the e-mails we send on a best efforts basis when futures with physical delivery (e.g. wheat, gold, bonds...) expire we will close open positions at the market price on the day before the first notice day. This service avoids any possibility of physical delivery. A fixed fee of € 50 will be charged for this service. Clients can obviously avoid this fee by simply closing the position themselves at the latest on the morning of the day before the first notice day.
Information: commissions are per lot per side, as indicated, excluding the exchange fee which we need to collect for the exchange.
Information: the exchange also requires us to collect their monthly real-time market data fees.
Information: in addition to the above platforms we can also connect NinjaTrader, Multicharts, Trade Navigator and Sierrachart.
