OX - same for me. Reluctant to jump in for the real thing. Observed today with both QCharts and the Towsend java quotes (free from CME) that QCharts had data bursts. I am following the NQ00Z and saw differences up to 5pts between these two. Add that to slippage and 5 pts still are 100$. Can't find my way on TWS: apparently the demo has xxx delayed quotes ... impossible to test day-trading. Certainly not based on the QCharts. :-7 Also unclear is the way the orders are filled: partial fills, queued for some seconds untill there is another party with the same number of units then filled or rejected? (Burned my fingers once on Amex trading, a bit cautionous now). So far, the strategy would be to trade unit per unit on the Globex: does not change the commission anyway. Still browsing through my 250+ list of brokers. Looking for a point and trade interface a la Level II. Rejecting all trading systems based on CUBS and TOPS. Rejecting the user friendly systems (you're broke by the time you have finished browsing through all te windows). Even wondering if it would not be better to use phone brokers.
