So that would mean Sierra chart charge of $27/mo (assuming monthly subscription on lowest level)
plus Sierra Chart data charge of $35/month
plus roundtrip cost of $4.64/contract on something like CL (commission and fees)
That would be correct if I would be using the package 3 Sierra. I have to use package 5 however which is the only package with footprints (they call it number bars) and volume profile. I just checked their pricing when I wanted to answer your question and it seems that they lowered the price for package 5 just after I subscribed for 1 year They charge 40 USD/month now, but if you subscribe for 1 year it's 31.20 USD/month + the data 35 USD/month. Together 66.20 USD.
IB roundturn commision is around 4.02 USD/contract for US index futures which I am trading mostly (NQ, YM, ES) and approx. 4 eur for EUREX products (FDAX, FESX, FGBL).
I changed the thread title from "Zenfire Mirus drops Sierra" to "Sierra drops Zen Fire Mirus", it was bugging me too much and I think it more accurately reflects the situation.
amp futures offered me package 3 sierra with no monthly charge, but on a 50 cent transactional basis.
It uses TT data feed and I really like it. It has no draw volume profile or TPO in the package 3 version.
I tried xtrader, but did not like it.
I opened a sub account under my main account, and they let me use it on that account.
IT is a good way to check out sierra with no monthly charge to see if you like it.
I have to keep ninja also , because there is an auto strategy on ninja that I have not been able to convert to the others yet. Again, a sub account lets me keep all platforms up and running. Easy to move money between accounts as needed for margin.
I am setting the 3rd account up with rithmic this week.
Also, I no longer worry about whether to use this platform or that platform. I just keep them all handy !
cqg, rithmic and TT
I am keeping the Mirus account but opening another. This thing will settle down (more the Zen-Fire with NinjaTrader) eventually, and in the time being it gives a good incentive to test drive something new. I was very happy with zenfire/mirus, so not panicking and closing the door there.
I went to Optimus with @mattz. So far, I am liking the feeling that we are in the same state, even though Vision is not. My thoughts were, ZenFire's cousin is Rithmic, and I might actually get to drink a few with a broker. lol!!!
They charge 40 USD/month now, but if you subscribe for 1 year it's 31.20 USD/month + the data 35 USD/month. Together 66.20 USD.
