HIGH99 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Received an email from Ally Invest last night, and spoke to Wedbush today. Ally/MBTrading is out of the futures as of 10/31/2018. Wedbush, who has been the clearing broker, is taking over all the futures accounts. The MBTrading platform is going bellyup as well. So there goes my MBTrading feed. Have you ever done business with Wedbush? They will be using a trading platform called CQG. Any thoughts? This is all new to me, and you I suppose.

Jerry Medved Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 their futures stuff is shutting down right now as for the stocks and MBT datafeed/platform, it will continue. There will not be any change to that till there is a replacement and we will be on top of that, so no problem. We have not done anything with Wedbush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGH99 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 So I am to assume that the MBT datafeed will no longer work for futures after 10/31/2018. Correct? I will have to purchase a new feed. IQ comes to mind as I have used them in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes, I believe that is correct. IQFeed: https://medvedtrader.com/iqfeed and QuoteMedia: https://medvedtrader.com/quotemedia both have it. Also, TD Ameritrade has futures quotes in case you happened to have an account (quotes only, not trading), as well as IB, and any broker using GAIN or Rithmic systems.

HIGH99 Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I have been with MBTrading (and you) going back to at least 2001. QT alumni. TD Ameritrade looks pretty good for trading Dow emini futures, and then I would get their data feed as well. I know you have worked with them for a long time, selling QT to those people. So I assume you can recommend them as well. Is their data feed pretty reliable with MT over the past few years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 their futures data, when it works, is good. in the past they have had frequent interruptions for the futures data. HOWEVER, they just moved the data servers to new data centers to address the issue and have not had any issues since. Right now we do not support futures trading via TDA, but plan to add it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGH99 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Let see if I understand. You do not support futures trading with TDA, however MT does get streaming futures quotes from TDA? So if I use TDA as my data source, I can/will get the Dow emini real time streaming data, but I cannot trade using the MT trade feature? Do I have that right?

Jerry Medved Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Just now, HIGH99 said: but I cannot trade using the MT trade feature? Correct, though let me clarify - you cannot trad the future through TD Ameritrade through MT. MT does support futures trading through others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGH99 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ok, that would work. I would just use TDA for my data source and that is it. I could then "trade" using their website and order entry window or whatever. But someday both data feed "and" trading all in one with MT. And that day is on the horizon?
