Velocity and Mirus: Anyone Experienced? | Thread profile

Can anyone recommend a broker who supports using Ninjatrader for both charting and trading? I'm looking for zenfire data connectivity. I tried Mirus but their customer service was useless. Thanks

Hi, if there is any one who uses or has used Velocity or Mirus I would really appreciate some insights. I currently use IB and am looking for a new, better approach to trading in terms of software integration. Ninja+ZenFire or Ninja+TTfix sound like really nice, tightly integrated, complete solutions. However I am wondering what the broker experience is like with these other firms. I mean...

Mirus looks not very customer friendly. Had many accounts over the last 20+ years and looked at Mirus to use Zenfire with ninjatrader as an additional broker. I made contact, filled in the forms online, heard nothing and despite two emails to a specific person have not had an account number after more than a week. Doesn't bode well for customer service when I really need it so I will try ...

thanks dandxg - if you get some spare moments it would be great if you could share your broker experiences. I think that money management tools, easy access to cash, free transfers, good sweep rates, things like this are very important to me. problem is that even getting a full commission list is difficult, let alone and insight into the back office type of stuff... makes changing broker a big...

Quote: dandxg I think the OP was referring to Velocity Futures vs. Mirus and not Velocity FX which I believe you are referring to correct? My understand they are not the same. If that is the case then you are indeed correct. I was referring to Velocity FX.

I am surprised anyone had a bad experience with customer service and MIRUS. They work very hard to be the very best at it. I have been their client since 2004 and I know it is their #1 priority. I also wouldn't switch from Ninja Zenfire for anything. fwiw...
