Ive been exhaustively trying to search for a reputable broker/fcm who can offer me access to SPI futures for a good rate, (i roughly do about 1000 rt's a month)..
many of the brokers dont respond to emails, which makes it difficult..
the problem is AMP is the only one thats showing up, and from what ive been reading thats something I may not wanna put myself through..
Has anyone found another futures broker that offers SPI, and hopefully TT X Trader?
I thought I got a hit with 'Variance Futures' but they quickly became impossible to contact, so I went to their FCM (Vision Financial) and theyre equally difficult to contact via email.
Does anyone know if its possible to get SFE markets if i went straight to RCG, Crossland or Dorman?
Any helps appreciated, cheers

I am currently looking at my options for different brokers in Australia to use Ninja Trader. I currently use MFGlobal Australia but I haven't been overly happy with the support I have been receiving. I trade index futures mainly but if I can get …
I was looking for some fellow SPI traders that might be interetsed in sharing chit chat, ideas etc.
By the SPI, I'm referring to the actual futures market ie currently APM1.
hard to describe my approach, basically looking at the ladder make an opinion on where its going to go based on that and what other markets are up to, minimise risk and manage trade accordingly...
those commissions are way too high for me to even bother, in general my ratio is 1RT per 1.4 ticks, so im not too interested in giving away nearly half my profits in brokerage before tax..
AMP was offering, supposedly, around $2.60 a RT, but with all the problems associated with that.... ive just been browsing DeepDiscountTrading and thats roughly $4.20 per round turn, but much better service and the clearing firm seems a little more solid...
Wow, that's amazing. Both from a brokerage side as well as your trade size/duration.
You would also have to have a very good data feed if you are only looking for 1..2 points.
IB compresses the data and so does not show true volume.
Personally I'm trading on a 10 & 25 tick chart. Trying to at least get 5 points/trade.
I have not had any issues with AMP...when I email support I get a quick response by phone.
I have been trading ES this month using the CQG data connection. I got a great rate of $3.62rt despite not being a high volume trader. My schedule sometimes results in zero trades for the month
I think CQG is better than Zenfire with the added bonus of historical data and no inactivity fee
