best futures broker

ive contacted them and their service is very good however they dont offer SFE markets..

has anyone got an opinion on Mirus futures?

 

Go with www.optimusfutures.com because they are flexible.
Before you discuss commissions check stability, recommend platform, etc I use ninja with Rithmic with them and I never even heard of ninja or rithmic before they mentioned it. its very stable and it works well even during peak announcement times.

ive sent them an email however not optimistic they offer SFE markets, thanks

DDT seems best for service, comms, markets etc... going with them

 

I don't like the 5.35$/RT fees. Looking for half of this.

 

The lowest fee you will get from any safe broker for low volumes is 50 cents commission to the broker per side plus exchange fees plus any trading platform fees.

 

My Mirus charges from JAN 2012, per side:

$1.05 Commission
$0.60 Clearing
$1 Exchange
$0.02 NFA

 

So you got any recommendations?

 

IB charges:

$0.85 Commission
$0 Clearing
$1.14 Exchange
$0.02 NFA
$0.00 Platform Fee

which would be 66 cents cheaper per side (others please verify)


DDT charges:

$0.50 Commission
$0 Clearing
$1.14 Exchange
$0.02 NFA
$0.40 Platform Fee (varies a lot depending on platform)

which would be similar to IB
