No, Continuum/Kinetick is one technology combination, CQG is another. Global supports CQG for NinjaTrader clearing through AMP and they also now offer Rithmic.
Though I am actually a Photon trader user, I have cleared my business through FuturePath for many years and know them all well. They DO offer Ninja - Rithmic through several FCMs...you do not have to go through Vision if you do not feel comfortable with their financial situation or regulatory infractions. Rithmic goes though KCG (Knight), Dorman, FCStone..I know they clear all these places in addition to Vision. (they are an IIB) They do not seem to advertise much, so go to their website and if you want further information. http://www.futurepathtrading.com/ P.S. I am NOT a broker soliciting business!!!
Global also offers NT thru RCG and KCG, one (or both?) of which uses PATS. I'm with Mirus/RCG and want to keep using Ninja Trader, but the PATS data feed is quite lousy. I'm trying to find an IB that clears through RCG, allows for use of the Ninja platform, and has the Rithmic or CQG data feed.
Ray at NT just posted this at BMT's boards. Webinar at 1 PM EST Attention ZenFire/Mirus Users: I will be conducting a webinar today at 1PM EST to discuss your options for continued NinjaTrader use. To attend, please click this link https://ninjatrader.omnovia.com/demo. I will also be fielding any questions you have on this entire situation.
