Mirus Futures

Definitely positive experience with Mirus

I've used Mirus Futures since 2005, among 2 other brokers, and my experience with Mirus has been very good, if not the best, all these years. Their customer service has been real responsive and helpful, wire transfers always promptly taken care of and I don't really have any complaints about their execution speed (Zenfire) or commission fees. I've seen a few comments here about connection problems or lagging price feed with Zenfire, which I must comment I haven't really experienced them myself. I trade CL (Crude Oil) and I've only had 2 lost feed/connection over the last 12 months, both very short lived, no big deals really. If you are an active, serious trader I definitely recommend Mirus Futures.

Response from Mirus

I saw your comments about Mirus Futures and wanted to let you know that Hard8 does not own any part of Mirus Futures. Hard8 is a Chicago based proprietary trading group that has no interaction with Mirus Futures in any way. Two individuals in Hard8 are also co-owners in a small Chicago based private equity firm. That firm made an investment in a firm formerly known as 7ticks, which was owned by the same parent company as Mirus Futures. Because of this indirect relationship to Mirus Futures, NFA regulation requires that they be listed as owner only participants in the company. These individuals have no involvement with the day to day operations of Mirus Futures, and more importantly, Mirus Futures has absolutely no relationship with Hard8 or any other proprietary trading firm.

Unfortunately, this rumor was started by a competitor to try and tarnish our reputation. There are many reasons that Mirus is highly regarded in the futures industry and has earned the Silver Award for Best Futures Broker from Trade2Win members 2 years in a row. The forums can be a great place to share ideas and thoughts about trading and industry vendors. However, there are many companies that use the anonymity to spread false information. If you have additional questions, I would suggest contacting Mirus directly.

First Rate!

Been using them about 3 months.
Low commissions. Good, fast executions. Courteous prompt customer service. Emails and phone calls during business hours answered almost instantly. Solid platform & data feed. Don't know about tech support, since I've never had to use it (which is good!)

I'm quite happy with them.

Reviews by others have noted that some prop trading firm owns an interest in mirus. This might be concerning to Mirus Futures clients if Mirus actually did its own clearing! As it stands, you can clear through Dorman or Rosenthal Collins Group. I clear through the latter (established 1928 with >$1billion client assets), and my bank wire goes to a segregated RCG account. Mirus has no access to the money. The problem with MF Global and some other futures firms (e.g., Amp Futures) is that they cleared their own trades & therefore could have access to the money.

Mirus Futures A+

Best Broker I've ever had. From Customer Service to Trade Desk to Tech Support I would give them A+.
