October 2024 Update: I’ve decided to no longer work with several firms as there are industry regulations coming and I don’t believe several firms will meet the criteria, including this one. I am leaving this article up but all links to to companies I no longer represent will forward back to my main Deals and Promos Page.
You can find more information here: Regulations Are Coming – October 2024 and also find my list of recommended companies that will be compliant.
TickTick Trader allows you to trade most CME Group products and the normal trading schedule. See below for the specifics and make sure you don’t trade outside the allowed hours or trade products which aren’t allowed.
TickTick Trader is looking to build long term relationships with futures traders, and I highly recommend them.
The information below was current as of the time of writing this article. Please visit TickTick Trader and review their help section to verify all the information below is still current before signing up.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight.
In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
