Thank you for the question. When it comes to specific commodities such as GC and CL, customers of Optimus Futures can see the CFTC reports when they are released. Today, for example, they are released at 15.30 EST. See Figure.
Also, CL news such as API (American Petroleum Institute), crude inventories, are also shown on the OptimusNews app.
Customers can filter out news by markets and country.
In my Opinion, this could serve as a good risk management tool so traders would not what may affect their positions if they are on them.
Thank you,

I am currently setup with Gain Capital for execution, and Rithmic (bookmap etc) for data feed, also use tradestation for charts.
Matt at Optimus is great from the start, knowledgeable and supportive of any issues during initial setups, etc.
A+
Thank you for your kind words, and I am glad that my team was able to put your set up the right way. Having access to many clearers data feeds allow us to establish a setup that fits a trader whether a beginner or advanced, and also set up any trading software with a focus on minimizing costs to the futures trader. Now that we have FX spot, we would make out efforts there as well.
Regards,

I had gotten to the point where I believed customer service was a thing of the past especially when electronic trading came of age. That was until Rob Mitchell mentioned the company Optimus in one of his YouTube videos. After doing some research I contacted the company and met Matt, in the last 30 years I have never experienced this kind of customer service. The man and his company are genuinely concerned about their customers, I've opened an account with them and will be a lifelong customer.
As a novice, I have been testing the waters with brokers. I have opened small accounts at AMP and NT to get data, unlimited sim trading and to play around with micros. I have $15000 to invest when I settle on a broker and feel comfortable truly going live. I'm leaning toward Sierra as a platform, and have been searching for tutorial videos on it, as it still overwhelms me a bit. Having seen YouTube videos on Sierra by Optimus Futures(and knowing they are a vendor here), I decided to fill out their online contact form. Everyone seems to give them rave reviews for their customer service and that may be the case after you have funded a large account with them, but, when Matt called me, he seemed condescending and dismissive. I understand the old adage, "time is money", but, when you're in a service oriented business, it seems you could at least attempt to feign respect for someone considering using your brokerage. I asked him if they had Sierra tutorial videos, he said they did but, (in so many words)he couldn't understand the purpose of the call if I was, "already giving someone else my money". I told him I was getting my feet wet with micros and he asked me if I was planning to continue trading micros, as if micros were small fry. I asked him what the difference would be in cost between AMP and Optimus for the micro ES, after he answered, the conversation ended with him asking "So you going to stay with AMP?", (the implication being)he'd be happy if I did and not waste anymore of his time. I know this is my first post on the forum, but I have been a member for a couple of months and the phone call I'm referring to only happened a couple of weeks ago. My anger at being brushed off finally got the best of me and pushed me to post. I know everyone has to start somewhere, and I mistakenly assumed that Optimus Futures(being an active member of this community) would be beginner friendly.
