Many software providers today charge a monthly fee to use their software regardless of whether or not you actually complete a trade that month. Worse yet, some software providers actually charge a minimum usage fee. This creates an unnecessary and costly expense that traders need to bear.
Pro Active Futures, Inc. feels so strongly about the value of our software to traders that we never have, nor do we now, charge a “monthly” or “minimum” usage fee to use the EZ Trader.

Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) and professional trade managers can create allocation block accounts directly from the EZ Trader from their existing list of accounts. The manager can then trade directly into the block account and these trades are automatically allocated to the correct accounts per the managers defined rules. This function eliminates the need to communicate with the back office and ensures accuracy allowing the manager to focus on trading not reconciling out trades.
The Allocation rules allow Trader Managers to allocate the funds appropriately in the event of partial fill. The order of the accounts in the block can now be set by highlighting the account and using the “Up” or “Down” arrows to move the account up or down the list (the first account in the list will be considered the “lowest” for purposes of the rules defined below). The following rules are available in the EZ Trader:
Allocation blocks will Automatically Create a “Backfill” account (indicated by a (B) after the account number) in the event the Trader Manager receives a partial fill and wants to complete the fill on the initial block order.

In addition to the direct access we enable to the major electronic markets, we also provide access to most major traditional commodity markets. Many brokerages simply don't have the infrastructure or the technology to allow you to trade the traditional open-outcry futures markets, even though many important commodity futures continue to trade in the pits.
Pro Active Futures, Inc. manages this complex routing to supply you with the best executions. Most of our pit orders are routed directly to electronic devices like handhelds and touch screens used by floor brokers in the trading pits. These devices help ensure the timeliest execution of your order. The broker keys your fill into the device, and you'll see it on your EZ Trader screen just moments later.
Institutional Clients, if you require special needs, PAF can route orders by trader, by commodity or by both to a specific broker.
Pro Active Futures, Inc. has added support for the following Spreads:
The buyer of an Inter-product Spread buys the first and sells the second component but the components refer to different underlying contracts, usually with the same expiration month. Inter-product Spreads are treated as separate products. If an Inter-product spread is executed there will be 2 separate positions for two different products located in the Positions window.
We are committed to providing you with the fastest data and trade executions. That's why we provide true direct market access (DMA) to all our offered exchanges.
Including: CME, CBOT, EUREX, NYBOT, NYMEX, KCBT, MGEX, ICE, Euronext.liffe London, and Euronext.liffe Paris.
One of the keys to our speed and reliability is the fact that all of the data critical to trading success is kept on our server rather than on your PC. This protects you from the unpredictable nature of connectivity from your PC to the server and eliminates storage requirements on your PC. In the event that a connection from your PC to the server is lost, any working orders will continue to work on the server.
