I've used Mirus for some time, and am very happy with them. One of the main criteria I use to judge a broker is the ability to get them on the phone to help in an emergency situation. I've had a few occasions where I needed to call Mirus to confirm orders/fills/cancellations when my PC crashed or my internet went down. Every time they have been easy to contact. They answer right away, and don't delay my situation any longer than it takes to tell them my account number and name. Their day margins are very low, and commissions are decent. Now that Interactive Brokers has dropped their rates, I'm going to hit Mirus up to re-bid my commissions, though. As for the guy in the other review who had a gripe about paying for Ninja.... I have this to say: I wish I had bought Ninja a long time before I actually did. Using Ninja would have saved me more than it's purchase price just by using the auto-brackets and single-click order modifications. When I was newer, I sometimes mixed up the R & L clicks and OCOs during a fast market. I wish I wasn't so cheap in the beginning, and had just bought Ninja. Also, I use Ninja's feature to link accounts with multiple brokersto trade them simultaneously. I like that I don't have to switch platforms at all. In summation, Mirus is good, the margins are as low as you'll find, but their commissions aren't the lowest any more. Use them if they give you a custom quote lower than their published basic rates. Happy trading.

Ninja is a great platform. There are a few suggestions I have for changes, of course, but that's just nit picking. The Ninja charts are pretty, and highly customizable. If you doubt me, just refer to IB's TWS charts. Those are uglier than a warthog walking away from you... but I digress. There are many additional indicators you can download & plug into Ninja, and many custom programmers out there who can make you something if you can't do it yourself. This lets you "have it your way", just like the old BK commercials used to say. Also, they run tutorial webinars several times per week. When I was a new Ninja user, I attended them several times, and learned something new each time. I recommend them highly. Their email support is also very good; next day in most cases, sometimes same day answers. Another nice thing is that you can use Ninja with lots of different brokers, so you don't need to change anything but your login when you take your business to another broker. Ninja v7 is still in beta at the time of this writing, but I have used it and like what I see so far in v7 as well. Ninja offers lifetime upgrades, so you don't have to pay again when the release something new. Great product. Five stars.

You could also "publish signals" with Collective2.com or StrategyRunner.com. The trades are placed in the client accounts, you get paid, and you never take possession of the client's funds. Hence, you don't need to be registered, and no one can ever say that you "Madoff with their money".
