Has anyone used Stellar recently and if so can you tell me your thoughts please? Pros and cons are welcome, I cannot find quality reviews online.........

I am looking for a fast, stable, reliable GUI that can handle high volume. Alternatives are welcome?

Thanks in advance for any responses.
 
Why don't you ask someone who works at Stellar? - my guess is you already work there so you could ask one of your colleagues....

I don't, I am a broker, we are using a primary platform and need to use one for contingency, their website looks good and obviously have been in touch with the sales people but they tell you what they want to, hence why I came onto this and another forum for honest feedback. If you send me a private mail or something I will give you my name and you can look me up on BBG, otherwise you need to trust me.....

Have you used Stellar?
 
Why not just use TT? I found Stellar to be slow to update during volatile conditions, for example during economic releases you may hit what you think is market but the market has already traded through that price.

We are trading RV and algo and TT isn't adaptable to the needs unfortunately, thanks for your response though, I have my fears.....

Will speak to them further and see what they can at least profess to offer....
 
Stellar works fine for me. I trade spreads on energy futures with it.

Whether or not it slows down depends a lot on your infrastructure as well as the software itself. They used to require you to have your own infrastructure to connect to exchanges, but I think they've just offered their own hosting services.

Unless you have automated your system to trade on figures and have low latency routing you won't be hitting the best prices you think are there using any execution platform.
 
Anyway although I ain't used it myself* consensus is it was bleeding edge at the time... then basically stagnated...

Spreader is supposed to be quicker than TT, but then CQG is even quicker, and frankly if you're using an autospreader as a key part of yer strategy your're a fag...

*Wasn't that long ago since I was using easyscreen... ISV isn't that important if you can actually trade, rather than pyramiding some moronic box or whatever....
 
I know a lot of people that used to use TT, and all now agree that Stellar is the best and has taken over. We use CQG for charting.

Does anybody know if Stellar is available for individual traders at home?

Can anybody please tell me what sort of round turn/ spin costs are for ICE brent crude futures, ICE Gasoil or NYBOT sugar no.11 contract people have experience (the cost of entering and exiting per 1 lot).

Thanks.

I have been using stellar to trade individually from home for several years. I think the platform is good but the customer service leaves something to be desired. TT did announce this week a huge slashing of their costs from next month though. If stellar don't follow suit they'll be extremely uncompetitive price wise.

I saw that big cut in price at TT as well. It's pretty clear they're going for a knock out blow by offering institutional level software at a retail price. I'd like to see a proper options screen for my broking business, but for simple options order entry entry xt is fine. Can't be beat for futures execution.

Before any volume rebates the headline cost for me in ICE Brent Crude and Gasoil is $2 per round turn. NYBOT sugar is $4.88 per round turn.

I'm sure all the billionaires over at Renaissance Techonologies are really shaking because some local point and click guy thinks they're all fags.
