One of the most confusing aspects of trading futures is the process of selecting a broker, trading platform, data feed, execution feed, and market data subscriptions. In this session, the Edge Clear team will go through the various options available to traders and discussed the differences in those choices to hopefully help you select what works best for you.

We focused on the following:
