Zen Fire data feed in fast market

That already is a lot. But then, as i meant: look at it when it lags. YOu will see it maxing out.
But Zen-Fire does not exist
What you get as Zen-Fire is actually another technology, repackaged. They put their own name on it.Heck, Ninja does not even use the Zen-Fire API but the original one by the technology provider.
I have like 2 grips with Zen-Fire:
* First, I dont like the repackaging. Gets the impression Zen-FIre is like a technology, when in reality it is a marketing label.
* The API is quite bad. Some really nice design mistakes - and in fact... this is why I think Ninja uses the original API
Not the official Zen-Fire one The original technology is terrific.
Rithmic.
Zen-Fire is a Rithmic implementation.
They even list"R Trader" (the original Rithmic trading application) on their website. If you ahve access to the original RIthmic API it can connecto to the Zen-Fire systems.
Rithmic is in use at quite a number of FCM's and IB's. This is most likely why Zen-Fire was formed as marketing term.
Using Zen-FIre with Mirus (which is waht I do) because Mirus is special in this regard?
Well.... Rosenthal Collins offers Rithmic also direct

Are you sure? What is the trading platform that runs Rithmic? Can you provide a link?
Thank You
Yes, 100% sure. THe Rithmic API works against Zen-FIre and has more functions than Zen-FIre originally has.
Their trading platform? Well, Rithmic IS a trading platform.

Technology partners?
Well, lets just say you find the whole Zen-Fire providers there, as well as Ninja Trader and Zen-Fire.
Zen-Fire, as far as it looks to me now, is nothing more than a nice label around Rithmic. Looking at the API they actually botcher it - I had various complaints on the API level that were answered with "what you need that for" from Zen-Fire - the Rithmic API actually does not have those complaints from my side, because it... has those features (like asking for exact PAST executions in case my internet was down - Zen-Fire API has no function for that, so past-auditing is not possible).

On the website they mentioned R/Trader as their front end platform, correct?
But it seems to me that is not available for retail customers
Actually you can trade only through NINJA ...or maybe Photon Trader
NetTecture - I could not agree more Ninja "Zen-Fire" is all marketing hype. There is another thread on this topic as well - http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=170297
As Flava Flav would say "Don't believe the hype".
