Futures firms with Ninjatrader bundled

Quote from TraderStavros:

This is more along the lines of what I am looking for I suppose. The feed was the part that was slowing me down as I am not interested in spending $100/month for eSignal at least until I develop a more profitable system.

Do you execute your trades on their proprietary platform than I imagine?

Thanks for all the input so far.

Yes, Zen-Fire does the data feed and execution -- it's very fast and reliable. It's also a true-tick feed (not compressed ticks like IB and TT). They have a good bit of historical data, but strangely they don't have daily bar data (you can build daily bars from hourly data). The backfill is kind of hit or miss (depending on what you trade). They have all of the popular equity indices, of course. They might not have other less active products. If you need backfill for a large variety of markets, then you will need a secondary data provider.

For a platform that provides very fast data delivery and execution, plus charting, strategy development, and backtesting, I think it's an absolute bargain. The user support from NinjaTrader is also top notch. Support from Mirus is fair to good -- I believe there is another broker who supports Zen-Fire and NinjaTrader, but I can't remember their name.

Good luck.

Great information, I am really leaning towards Mirus as of right now.

Thanks a lot.

im using ampfutures at the moment with the free version

Current Zenfire choices with NinjaTrader;

Mirus (IB)

Amp (IB)

VCap (IB)

Dorman (FCM)

Velocity (FCM...apparently they CAN get a Ninja account set up with ZenFire feed).
 
I use NT @ Velocity with TT feed,they pay me back in commissions every month for the platform fee,no problems,very fast feed and 4.25 rt commissions.
 
not sure if they offer zenfire,they have never mentioned it to me before,I just opened another account at amp to see how TT compares to zenfire.
 
Advantage Futures offers NinjaTrader and in my opinion their exchange connectivity is among the very best out there. Plus they're a clearing FCM.
