I'm looking for an affordable DOM / orderflow that is cheaper than Jigsaw and Ninjatrader, which combined would cost ~$1500 for a year, very overpriced IMHO. I'm thinking about Mirus Futures, Zenfire, and some good orderflow analysis tool similar to Jigsaw. What do you suggest?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Thanks for mentioning Open ECry, that looks like the best futures brokerage for DOM scalping the E-minis. It's interesting that free brokers and datafeeds are so unpopular. I think the marketing and naming of the products, e.g. Jigsaw and NinjaTrader, has a lot of appeal to consumers.
the best or the cheapest??
It looks like you are hunting for a 'free' solution
OEC is the worse data and app provider - it is a joke, not the application.
If NT too expensive use SierrCharts with the orderflow analytics
You can use OEC data but I would not use it if they pay me, not for free.
I meant it
True, the orderfootprint piece is free, but after some digging and wondering "where do they get you?" this is what comes along: the chart component is not free, but rather costly IMHO, and moreso than NT, potentially even more than after you have factored in some commercial volume footprint solutions. (Although GOM is wonderful and quite capable IMO). I took a listen to the MarketDelta webinar yesterday - and while 'free' was noted - I didn't hear that much about the 'gotcha' charges for regular charting (although I move around in the webinar, through the slow/boring parts) Every trader will need a 'traditional' charting package; I suppose the freebie/Amp/CQG version of NT can do, but I'd be hesitant to run 2 high end packages on a production/trading machine. And, at some point, the lack of seamlessness gets outweighed by the cost savings IMO. Anyway, here's their current price structure.
