Recommendation needed: Good broker supporting SC for European users

In the last two years I have traded profitably with SC on Bitmex. I love the volume and volatility of BTC and have built a risk/money management ecosystem for it.

Now SC will discontinue support, which I can understand from their perspective. Also, nobody can say how long Bitmex will be around.

So I would like to concentrate again on trading FOREX Futures, CFDs and e.g. the BUND Future. However, I am a little lost on what the best broker is for a client from Europe/Germany, as I definitely want to continue using SC. Currently I still have an account with OANDA, but they do not support SC.

For my trading I definitely need Level 2 data, since I trade mainly from the DOM.
I have looked at AMP, but their European account does not seem to support SC.

Any help appreciated!

I trade Bund on Eurex via AMP Global Clearing LLC, using the Sierra Chart Eurex feed.

Or try Advantage Futures (50k minimum but better rates)

Yes check out AMP. And as an alternative to BitMex we intend to be adding support for:

Thanks a lot! I think I will go with AMP. But for now I have extended SC without AMP. I will continue using Bitmex - in Europe/Germany usage is perfectly legal (as long as you pay your taxes). Coinflex looks very good as a an exchange, but unfortunately the traded volume is minimal...

I'm really curious what drove the decision to implement connectivity to CoinFLEX. With crypto exchanges measuring 24h volume in the billions of dollars, CoinFLEX barely does above $1 million per day--and that's combining spot and derivatives.

There are some great, liquid, active exchanges around--Binance, Kraken, OKEx, ByBit, FTX. The list goes on and on. And then there are APIs that provide data and trading for over a dozen exchanges--cryptowat.ch, coinigy.com, shrimpy.io, ccxt.pro.

I believe that connecting to CoinFLEX is a giant waste of time. A far better route would be to connect to something like Coinigy. Tell SC customers that Coinigy (or whatever other aggregator) is in charge of crypto exchange connectivity, and then be done with it. This would both simplify your lives and make customers wanting crypto connectivity happy. (SC users would be in charge of paying for subscriptions to whatever aggregator is chosen.)

They are affiliated with TT. And we can access that exchange over TT FIX which we already support.

But recently Coin Flex has changed their API and this is apparently no longer the case.
