We have a charting package attached to our main multi asset platform; have you tried that ?

prospreads has glaring weaknesses
The software is outdated, only works with certain browsers
No mobile platform which is a major blunder on their part , overnights margins way too high as they are not an real exchange and do not need to adhere to USA exchanges
No Vix trading

They use a Citrix connection, what's a browser got to do with anything? Please don't use IT jargon you don't understand.
Why?
You mean they don't allow clients to overleverage? Common sense in my opinion.
Yes I think jkane is a bit negative about Prospreads. I have been considering trading with them but the lack of a automatic user predifine stop loss in points feature on the platform have hold me back. Maybe this have changed recently, I don't know?

Only trade off their ladder myself but pretty sure you can do trailing stops etc so would be surprised if you couldn't do this as well.

XTrader has a C# api
Thanks, I'll have a look at that. It's still a problem though if you can't live test and not have to meet the minimum contract requirements
does not work with chrome
whats deal with xtrader?
I think only works with regular account and not mini account
only trading company in world without mobile platform

Open Chrome
https://login.prospreads.com/Citrix/AccessPlatform/auth/login.aspx
See the "Citrix" part of the url . . . .that's a BIG clue as to the technology used
ie their app is NOT accessed via a browser, you simply use a browser to log-on to your account area.
While I'm reluctant to point people to a wiki page, you might want to read this to understand what "remote access" mean

Out of interest do these guys still internally match some orders or are all orders passed through to the exchange?
IIRC they offer a DMA like solution but not necessarily a DMA solution... as per the screen print posted on here some years back where a limit order was shown in the order book on their platform but on a separate data feed it was clear the limit order was not in the actual order book at the exchange
it seems like a good solution if you're not concerned about queue position or latency (no doubt all orders are routed via Gibraltar then passed to the relevant exchange)... but perhaps not so good if you're say one of the few manual intraday traders left and are trying to scalp or leg into spread positions etc..
