WHS FutureStation
WHS FutureStation

Our trading platforms are built on an extremely solid foundation. They are based on the same technology as used by professional futures traders in London and Chicago. You are guaranteed direct access to the futures markets via a high speed network.

WHS FutureStation is directly connected to our state-of-the-art Patsystems order servers. Order entry, charting, technical analysis and program trading are all seamlessly integrated into one single powerful tool. Patsystems is THE reference in futures trading. It is one of only two types of technology that professional futures traders will consider using. All other trading technologies are not considered sufficiently reliable or fast.

WHS FutureStation is a unique trading platform. It allows you to trade manually, semi-automated or fully automated. And … given what it can do … this platform is very cheap.


 
 
 
High speed, direct acces to 1.200 electronic futures

No programming skills are required. Simply click to create your strategy.

The free real-time quotes provided are tick-by-tick quotes! These are a necessity if you intend to trade futures actively (volume of more than 20 lots per month).


Commissions 
Our commissions are transparent and below the industry norm. You might find brokers with lower commissions but you will not find a broker with a better price-quality-service relation.

* This fee is passed on to Patsystems who provide the order server. There are only two types of technology used by professional futures traders : Patsystems and TT. Why? These are the only technologies which update tick-by-tick. Competitors only provide half second snapshot quotes. Thus you cannot trade on each tick. This is a very important difference. One single tick in your favour on the Eurostoxx50 future, for example, is 10 EUR in your favour.
 
Info: commissions are per lot per side excluding the exchange fee dictated by the exchange. Commission are net. There is no additional VAT. There are no additional stocks exchange taxes.

Example calculation of trading times: the Euro Fx future can be traded through WHS platforms from 17.00 to 16.00 (Chicago time), e.g. from midnight to 11.00p.m. (CET) rom midnight to 10.15p.m. (CET)   

**For certain contracts on CME (mini S&P500, mini Nasdaq, mini DJIA, ...), new orders will not be accepted from 15.30 to 17.00 (Chicago time). Day orders created during the daily session expire at 15.15, whilst GTC orders remain active between 15.30 and 17.00.

Futures exchanges modify these parameters regularly (especially exchange fees). Although this table is updated as often as possible, information may be outdated.
The order server is available from 00:30 to 23:30 CET.
