I am using Howard with TT / Ninja. The feed has been great. I have a feed with another broker and I put it side by side with the TT feed, and the TT feed was much better. ( This is trading the ags, the indexes seemed better. )
I am really happy with DDT, Howard is usually quick to reply.
I trade with them everyday and never had a problem.
Whether you're a broker or a trader, you really don't want MT4 (they've made some changes to MT5 that may deal with some critical issues but it also breaks code compatibility in attempting to fix those issues).
The key issue is that MT4 abstracts things very much and the model on the front doesn't really match the backend model. If you know about trying to map OO to relational model and how hard that problem really is, I think this is kind of similar. It seems simple at first, it can work most of the time, and then you hit some edge case (and there are plenty) and what will happen is a) trader loses b) broker loses c) brokers non MT4 customers fees need to go up to compensate.
At the extreme, there's even traders who seek out new MT4 brokers. These guys have specialized in new MT4 brokers, when they win, b&c happens or alternatively there will be public rants about the broker where it won't be clear who is right as the fight is really concerning the key issue mentioned.
The model mismatch is key issue for otherwise profitable traders and the abstraction will cause issues for new traders
For the one or two MT4 brokers with no criticism about them, they are likely a case of survivorship bias or ability to pay up even when the broker is right about an argument.
EDIT: I realize you're not so much about MT4 but you're probably after indicators for that system mentioned. I don't see why the indicators couldn't be converted. I read a bit about the system and it's possible some of the MC's built-in indicators with some tweaking could actually do what the system is about.

Been with Howard and DDT a few weeks now. He is very fast in responding to my emails and genuinely appears to appreciate my business. I'm using CTS and Sierra, set up and technical details have been resolved quickly. A pleasant contrast to other brokers who treat you like something unpleasant they've picked up on their shoes. Crossland have been v. good also (data permissions and account reporting only so far).
