Is it worth it??

I guess I'm old school. Don't use anything like blackjack or ninja. I prefer a simple DOM

Zerolinetrader is very good for the price.

Unless your making $700 /day you should not be considering anything at that price level.

It is not worth to pay the $650
Take a platform where u can may the RTlike $5 and see how it work out
Cause god for bids if you end of loosing and u r paying $650 more from you pocket that is a pain in the ass and mental stress

Wait a second guys. Both global and velocity offer free x-trader with slightly higher commissions, I think somewhere around $4.5 to 5. If you do not do many trades and big volume these commissions are acceptable. If volume is large than $650 per month do not really matter.

However, I am hearing excellent thing about Ninja with Zenfire, people who use it swear that it is the fastest there is and Ninja only costs $50 per month.

Spectra,

Not sure what you mean, but ninja has one of the best DOM in the market. It is very easy to use, customize and put multi levels traling stops and similar things.

I want to use the X_trader platform with Globalfutures, but heres the thing...

they charge 650 a month for one exchange..then 4.75 rt commission.

The minimum needed is 5000 to open an account. Is it worth it?..

I dont like IB's platform.

Last time I checked their J-Trader platform was still available for free.

Although I don't know how it compares to the X-trader platform.

Agreed on IB. Everytime I had the conduit configured they'd release another update and break it.

Exactly: you can get X_Trader with no fixed TT monthly fees; it's called 'transactional billing'. You pay per rt with no minimum volume quotas.

Who offers a good realtime demo to test the Ninja + zenfire datafeed (so I can check its speed vs. my X_Trader)?

Wait a second guys. Whether transactional fee or fixed fee, you're paying for it. If you do not make many trades, what feature(s) does x-trader have that you NEED to pay for? The same question should be applied to ANY fee-based platform, imo.
