Hello, I tried searching ET, but didn't seem to find much. Does anyone have experience with this broker for futures trading? They seem to partner with Dorman Trading and PhillipCapital. Never heard of the latter, but I've read good things about Dorman on this forum in the past. If I'm not mistaken, Ninjatrader Brokerage acquired Mirus Futures. Thanks in advance.

Yes they acquired what was left of Mirus' accounts after they couldn't make a deal with Zenfire data? And Have used off and on Dorman without any hitches. They are now have tighter usage of NinjaTrader as far as feed but I bought software several years ago. I do have Lightspeed as one of my brokers, never had any horror stories to tell and when problem arises, they answer the phone. I use them for stocks and options mainly. There always going to be someone cheaper, so comes down to services when you have an emergency, what is that worth to you. And no law you can't have more than one brokerage either. I have never heard of PhillipCapital.
I use Ninja and have cleared through Dorman for years. The only problem I've had was when Mirus wet the bed trying to clone Zenfire about a year and a half ago...otherwise, all good.
