Any information on when Schwab futures will be tradeable through MotiveWave? The data has been available for ages- but still can't use MW to trade.

Last time I asked the support - they had no concrete date. It is best to keep asking them. The more people ask the more chances they make it happen, if Schwab API supports it...

Schwab futures fees are almost criminal... just saying

unless something has changed in the last few years..

Indeed the commissions are high, & the margins are high as well... I've inquired about matching commissions competitively, & the guy I spoke to said that it's possible, but the one time he asked about it, 'they' told him that they would like to see 30 days of trades first. I'm about 8-10 days in, we'll see how it goes. They didn't say anything about volume, so we'll see what happens... but trading through TOS isn't ideal for me, so I've revisiting the subject of trading Schwab through MW.

If you are a Schwab client, & use MotiveWave- PLEASE say something to both MotiveWave & Schwab about it- it's the squeaky wheel gets the grease!
