Actually i trade through IB. But there is a problem with the TWS API reporting wrong execution prices with the grains on CBOT. I contacted IB some days ago but still wait for an answer. If they are not willing to fix this i consider to switch to another broker. Actually advantage futures looks very interesting.
In my opinion the best brokers are the ones who offer you a personal support agent. Dorman, Global Futures, Advantage do this in my experience.

Vision and Velocity don't offer Eurex so that leaves AMP and Global.
Global offers AMP, Open E-Cry as well as RCG which is quite convenient as many traders who are currently with Mirus clear through RCG, so an account transfer could happen very quickly. The Global-RCG combo runs with Pats data feed. This is currently my preferred option.

So I will run both ZF (hopefully) and CQG in parallel.
Or in the worst case , assuming ZF does not get sorted in the next few days, I will move my live account to AMP if CQG runs okay over the next few trading days.
I used to have an account with AMP and they have told me it is still open so all I need to do for Live trading is sign a form to have my funds moved from Mirus to AMP.
I am also going to reach out to Matt at Optimus Trading (they do NT with Rithmic) and see what deal he offers. At face value their margins and commissions are not the lowest. They also do not offer Eurex.
CQG does offer Eurex with AMP (and Singapore and Australia) but I think there is an extra cost for this Eurex data whereas with Mirus/ZF there is not, so gets a bit harder to make cost comparisons.

Just wondering who else uses CQG other than AMP. Here's their website. http://www.cqg.com/
I guess it's these guys. http://www.cqg.com/Electronic-Tradin...-Partners.aspx I see Advantage, AMP, Dorman, Vision, Velocity. Some of the ones we're talking about.Last edited by bce111; 01-04-2014, 01:49 PM.

Is it possible to connect with Rithmic? Or is that "choice" not available.
This whole trading platform / introducing broker / data provider enterprise seems to rely on the heavy use of smoke and mirrors to conduct business.
CQG being referred to as an NT Technology Partner leads me to expect more.... isn't "flexibility" part of NT's business model?Last edited by glennts; 01-04-2014, 03:38 PM.

They have a specific web site for NT/Rithmic:

Email Matt for margins but I think you will find it is around 20% of the exchange mandated initial margin - so about $1000 for ES and $1688 for CL for instance.

I have looked into Optimus / Vision...and I fould this: http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/...08888&type=reg
"On May 18, 2011, pursuant to a settlement offer submitted by Vision, Rothman and Doherty, Vision was ordered to pay a $500,000 fine and not enter into guarantee agreements with IBs for two years, subject to an opportunity to request modification of this restriction. Vision, Rothman and Doherty were ordered to develop and implement updated or revised supervisory procedures with respect to the supervision of Vision's GIBs within 180 days of the date of the Decision"
If it's the same guy...he's a repeat offender and has cases going back decades with earlier brokerage / investment businesses
As I posted earlier...it's all smoke and mirrors. Any one who has been conned by a pro will tell you " he was one of the nicest people I've ever met..."Last edited by glennts; 01-04-2014, 03:25 PM.
