What is your specific question about TT and Sierra? Execution, latency, tick accuracy, etc.
Would be glad to help if you tell me your concerns.

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

I have used it quite a bit.
I also have rithmic on a subaccount and use that more.

TTnet does not give you account balance info and I do not like that. It seems like basic info that should be available.


Eveything else was fine and I am very pleased with AMP service.

Shane, besides the main disadvantage that I agree with you, how was execution with TT? latency, slippage etc
My experience at this point is limited to Rithmic only.

The latency and slippage could both be rated as excellent ! I found them around the same as Rithmic.

When I used TTnet with Sierra Charts, it was very stable as well and I never noticed any disconnects.

I used TT net side by side with rithmic for quite awhile and only noticed a few disconnects with rithmic, while I experienced no disconnects with TTnet.

They seemed very similar in most other aspects , including latency.

Ditto that.

TTnet is rock solid. Never have disconnects. Latency/execution is better than Rithmic/ZF (when it existed). Just a shame that TT put no further investment into it eg transmitting of account balances and no server side OCO facility and no web/mobile interface for disaster recovery. Although I did ask AMP about this and they said they are talking to TTnet about these shortcomings.

I think I have found a way to see the balance when you use TT.
Right besides your SC, Open X-Trader (Free) along with the same credentials, and you should get your balance while you trade on SC/TT.

The OCO is another consideration, and that is why many use Rithmic.
