Futures Brokerages that use Ran Order Platform

Hi

I have been trading options on futures via Ran Order and I was very pleased with it. Right now I found two brokerages that offer this trading software:

Variance Futures and

Sweet Futures.

Does anybody have experience with any of those brokers? Since my trading volume is fairly low, commissions are not my primary concern, I am mostly worried about execution and customer service.

Any feedback is appreciate it. Thanks alot!

 

We use Ran on all of our platforms, clearing ADM. Good system, pm me w questions. I have no experience with the brokerages mentioned...

 

Can't vouch for RAN, but Ian Sweet is a good man. He works with RCG, obviously.

I would choose Sweet over Variance.

Does Global Futures have its own trading desk? Or are you reliant on the FCM's trading desk?

 

YES! We have our own order desk that is available 24 hours and there is no extra cost to place your trades over the phone.

 

ok, I am open to try new platforms as well. can anybody recommend a good brokerage for options on futures?

this is not for high volume trading, but for a self-directed 50k+ account. costumer service and execution are extremely important!
