This guy is a broker or getting paid by them because he is an auto response for anyone asking about a free demo or TT or Ninja. Look up all of his responses. All the same. blah blah blah--go to vcap futures is the final answer to all questions.
actually I have mentioned Velocity to others here too....sorry!

The connection there is exceptional and they have some good rates. I am sure you could find several other Chicago based brokers with data centers there if you need the speed. ********************************************************************* Vcap has been great to deal with and that is very rare in my experience.....so I will definitely pass that along to others.
Hey you can trade forex through them too!!! I see you work for AMP.....LOL! VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
And? How does his front running Vcap make you open an account there? And no, I dont have an account there Many people on here will jock their pet software, broker, blog or whatever. This is after all, the anonymous internet. I recommend you investigate Vcap or whomever yourself. If X doesnt work for you move on.
See, I assume you guys are smart enough to do your own due diligence......maybe that is a leap of faith on my part.
dandxg - My guess would be about $4.00 RT for the retail trader with lower volume........and of course less with bigger monthly volume.
I am pretty sure where you are at dandxg (P-------e) is lower for the retail person. However if you are doing size, anything is negotiable. I dont have a account at either. But in light of disclosure I have talked to both those outfits and there were very close to my (V------y) rate and I can tell you that Zenfire seems faster that TT when I demod it at one of those two firms. If such a thing is possible. Just quote Alaron/Flashfutures rate of $3.90 with Ninja but no Zenfire and see what they say. Dont forget if you're doing more than 2-3k round turns/ month to look into cme membership.
Thanks guys. I am just piking working on my stratedgy and getting my mind sharp and geared up for multi lots. I use Ninja Zen right now through pro active, but I get $4.70 for RT for CME eminis which is lower than the published rate. I get this for a 1 lot even because of the voume my mentor does and I piggy back on him. I might just give them a call. I believe Ninja Zen is slightly faster than X Trader basic from Velocity as I came from there. They are both real good though. My problem with Ninja is shelling out $150 upfront for something that has charting problems and doesn't always calculate PNL correctly. Did you guys see those bad euro ticks last week? I hope you are listening Ray. My futuresource quotes didn't have them so I know it wasn't an exchange issue. I could have had an erroneous trade, based on bad data. Enough of my bitching. It is good, but for the money it better get better or I may just go TransAct for $4RT and use Sierra Charts as before.
