I agree there clearly appears to a bit of butt covering going on at Mirus....however, having said that...the account reps at Mirus are buried under an avalanche of requests.
NinjaTrader has stepped up...(even though this is NOT a Ninja problem)....and Ninja Support can help with many (but not all) technical issues that relate to connections, "how-to's"....etc.
Why is it that talking about fees and commissions is taboo and brokers here don't just come forward and say here are my total r/t commissions and fees instead asking one on a public forum to e-mail them?
Yes, there are different fees for different packages, but Mirus did that with no problems. It will go a long way for Ex-Mirus members to trust and switch or sign up their new accounts with these outfits.
Technically it is available through this feed however, this is an entitlement that your broker needs to enable. There is an additional cost for this to the broker. Whether or not they charge you is a discussion between you and them.

margins are important in having the decision to utilize or safe harbor your own trading funds and in deciding your appropriate level of risk management relative to the particular trading circumstances and contract.
whenever these replacement brokers start out by trying to convince you that you need $2,500 per contract margin, and why its beneficial, just inform them of what you had at Mirus and AMP, and $400 intraday and $500 intraday margins are very common and readily available.
watch the conversation switch immediately away from your question....
your response might be to....(what)?
1) hang up after thanking them politely
2) see how they justify their decision and try to impress you, (iow) keep listening and open an account
3) go to the next suggested replacement broker on your list...
