Hello, you can see some general detail about the firm here: http://www.infinityfutures.com/infinityadvantage.aspx We do have other clearing relationships that offer CQG data, but our relationship with Sierra is based on the link between Sierra and Transact. Transact is our parent company and provides the data for Sierra and our flagship order execution platform, InfinityAT. The Infinity AT trading platform is fast, light, free, and owned/operated by the same registered FCM holding your funds. From a support perspective, we feel this creates a better experience for our customers. This is because company holding the customer's funds also owns the level 2 trading DOM, data, risk management technology, even the statement generation is done in-house. Most other firms outsource many or all these things to other firms, resulting in support gaps when the inevitable tech issue does arise. We have seen this numerous times in the industry over the years, sometimes with catastrophic results as we all know. Appreciate you interest, personally I have been with Infinity for 10 years (my entire career) and after working with a number of platforms/FCMs/data providers/software companies I feel our current arrangement (InfinityAT + Sierra) is the best available solution for a self-directed futures trader. |
