I use Mirus/Zenfire. I sent them an e mail wanting them to clarify what the new fees were. This is their reply;
Hello,
Thanks for your account with Mirus Futures.
You can find complete information regarding our rates at the following link. You will want to pay attention to the "all-in" columns. It shows the per-side rate. https://ninjatrader.com/ - Our Rates are all in including commission, fees, nfa and Zen-Fire data and order routing.
Yes those look like the current rates. I just e mailed a more stern request for what I will be paying on top of what I already pay. If I get any answer I will post it here.
Give them a link to this thread, I've already emailed Eliot and Paul @ Mirus about this, they are aware of it but maybe the individual brokers there are not all aware of it yet.
Yes, I'd ask them the additional question, whether or not Mirus is going to charge us (clients) and what additional fees we could expect in any case...

Looks like an incomplete answer to me, either that or they don't believe they are subject to the data fee/platform fee collections. Which would be contrary to my current understanding of this.
Well they seem to be focusing on the contract fees, and not on the data fees. My understanding is the data fee applies to all brokers (all clients) and not just non-executing data providers like in the past (ie IQFeed). But I could easily be wrong, it is rather confusing at this state.
@mattz is usually responsive, maybe he can clear things up from an IB perspective in terms of executing vs non-executing and the new data fees for non-professionals and professionals.
