Post From: new account / existing relationship : IB & Dorman

So to summarize the current situation : This isn't my preferred option because i have more funds and can also use other instruments as collateral with IB for short moves so using the IB account would have been my preferred method. (i know the IB symbols and their IT platform suck, but there aren't a lot of shops out there existing for so many years and making 200-400 million of profits per year. i sleep well when my money sits with them - can't say that much about many others)

If you want to use Interactive Brokers that is perfectly fine. Here are the instructions and details:

In any case, i'm willing to use this at-home period to try and setup a proper execution framework so i've called both dorman and tradovate and requested again this TTFIX Order Routing Collaboration.
tradovate will not support TT order routing.

Dorman seemed to know and confirm it was possible but basically requested me to have tradovate handle the request. tradovate first contact wasn't aware of it and wanted to peddle the CQG market data / order routing (15$/month +.15$ per side). so i have now sent a proper email to them and am expecting a reply today. Assuming they do recognize this option and can activate it , i'll have to move more funds there as i only have enough for small day trades there at the moment.
You really just need to have a direct account with Dorman to use the TT order routing.

this bring me to the fact that today is 31st of march and i have subscribed for a service that cannot technically work right now and will only work in a couple of days once the paper work is done and once funds are there (let's say mid april). How can we handle the order routing fee in the meantime ? can you deactivate it ?
We can deactivate the Denali data for you need. Do you want us to do that? We can also add a few days of usage time to your Sierra Chart account.

in the meantime, you also discuss the TT account. is that something i can already progress on while the paperwork is being discussed between tradovate/dorman/sierra ? or is the paper work a condition precedent to the TT account setup?
A funded trading account must already be in existence before the TT account is set up.
