You need 15k for intraday margins. Commissions are 3.50 a side.
Data is not bad. Nothing like Zen Fire but not bad.

I sent Mike a pm, but since you posted this I just wanted to add a little clarity.
The posted commissions are negotiable, I currently pay less than IB charges, but you have to trade enough to be able to negotiate.
I would prefer that the quote feed was true tick, but their feed (like IB) does have some advantages when things get really crazy. I had Ninja with Zenfire up next to the TOS feed and several times over that last few weeks the Zenfire feed fell behind trying to keep up with every tick while the TOS feed was fine.
I asked and they told me no for the intraday with less than 15K
Here is what they said about commish.
"We can lower your Futures commissions based on the volume you trade, to $3.00 if you trade 200 contracts per month, 2.50 if you trade 500 contracts per month and $2.00 if you trade 1000 contracts per month."

Let me know what happens. I like Mirus futures for daytrading.
