You get a nice combination of a “Trading Cockpit” that allows you to see the chart, DOM, and quote box as well as place trades and see all your open positions (Current positions, Stop-Loss and Target Profit).

There is a substantial risk of loss in futures trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results.  The placement of contingent orders by you or broker, or trading advisor, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders
