I 've looked around for a low commission broker for FDAX / FESX / ES. Mirus Futures seeem to have the lower commissions I found for a RT volume between 0-500:

FDAX: eur 2.63 RT
FESX: eur 2.25 RT
ES: usd 4.40 RT

Looks a lot better than IB who charges eur 4 RT for FDAX / FESX.

Has anyone found lower commission for a small volume?

I'm not sure about FDAX and FESX, but I know for ES and the other US e-mini contracts, that is about as low as you are going to get starting out. You may be able to get 10 or 20 cents cheaper on the e-minis with another broker like Amp or OEC, but I don't know if they offer FDAX and FESX.

I had checked OEC, they are more expensive for all 3 contracts FDAX / FESX / ES

Amp and Mirus with Zen Fire both offer FESX, FDAX, ES and all major futures contracts. I think it is important you choose Zen Fire, not Trading Technologies, if you are using tick based data (tick, range, volume -- non-minute charts).

I've been with IQfeed, eSignal, IB, and I found the best combination so far is Amp+Zen Fire. I am using NinjaTrader so that did weigh into the decision, there might be better data providers for other platforms. There was a huge difference for me. The second best was IQfeed+IB.

Just keep in mind Amp/Zen is futures only, no stocks.

Issue I had with AMP was there is no one in the office until just before the US markets open. Is that still the case? DAX position and no one in the office was scary. Otherwise great service.

I never had a reason to call them so don't know. I've always dealt with Dan, he always did whatever I asked. The only issues I had were during my account creation phase, just working out some settings and logins and etc.

I have to recommend Mirus/Zen-Fire/Ninja Trader. I rarely have a problem, but if one arises my broker gets back to me in less than 5 minutes by email and always picks up phone.

Hi:

I think that the best way to look for a broker, is spend some minutes here:

Eurex - Brokers

You will be surprised....
