Slow fills, sometimes random disconnects

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. While most customers do not report similar issues, we understand how frustrating technical difficulties can be. Please note that TradingView and the connecting API provider, CQG, are independent platforms not owned by Optimus Futures. We are always happy to assist where we can. If you're experiencing connectivity problems, we recommend hardwiring your computer, closing unused applications, and testing again. Feel free to contact us. We're here to help.

He meets my expectations and was able to give me more options than previous ones so far.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad we met your expectations and could offer more options than before. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate you choosing Optimus Futures.

One of the advantages of Optimus is that it is possible to trade from the TradingView charts. Which I love.

Kudos to the TradingView team for making it happen! This reflects their engineering and design. We're glad you're having a positive trading experience with Optimus Futures.

I want to be fair, so here is both sides. What works: order execution has been clean. Fills have been fine, no slippage complaints, no disputes. Commissions and margins are competitive as advertised. During business hours the support desk answers quickly and does try to solve things. What does not: the connection is unstable. Logging in through TradingView fails repeatedly, and often it does not even get that far. I get a window that hangs and never renders a login form at all, so there is nothing to submit. There is a trap in that. Because the connection keeps failing, you retry it many times, and then you get locked out for exceeding the allowed number of login attempts. So a problem on their side turns into a lockout on your account, and you need support to let you back in. There is also a one concurrent session limit, which nobody explained to me in advance. Both are things a broker should tell you at setup, not things a customer should discover the hard way while trying to trade. The real risk is timing. Support is business hours, weekdays only. Futures trade nearly around the clock. If access fails outside those hours, you are on your own until the desk opens. For anyone holding intraday positions, decide whether you can live with that before funding an account. The trading itself is fine. Getting to it reliably is not.

Thank you for your positive feedback on our pricing and margins. We aim to remain competitive to attract and retain valued customers. Regarding your other points:

1) Connection issues are typically related to your PC or configuration. Most customers log in successfully on their first attempt after onboarding. We address persistent issues as they arise, but we haven't encountered this problem frequently. Please try running the platform only with the TradingView browser. Shut down all other browsers.

2) The issues you described are related to TradingView and CQG and are not controlled by Optimus. While we do not manage these configurations, we always strive to assist customers, even when the issue is outside our control.

3) The logout session does expire after failed attempts for security reasons.

Finally, we support traders during regular business hours and also offer 24-hour assistance for those trading at night. We provided the number when you received your account number.

Thank you for being our customer. We wish you continued success in your trading.

Kept getting kicked out. But customer service was on it right away! They really do take good care of the customers.

Thank you for your kind words! We do our best to support all futures traders regardless of their level of experience. Best of luck in your trading journey.

Works well with trading view. Minimal lag. No disconnections for me. Bracket orders work as expected

Amazing to know! We keep offering CQG because we get really good feedback. We also recommend avoiding (if possible) Wifi and having a direct connection to the router. This may possibly help as well. We are very happy that you chose us, and it worked as expected.

Wishing you well in all your future trades!

horrible... limit orders are getting rejected multiple times

You have placed limit orders outside the exchange's limits. We respect that you are a beginner and may have to learn the basics of the business, but please reconsider a one-star rating, as this is your error. Please let us know if we could be of further help.

Overall pretty good but sometimes there’s a connection issue with TradingView. I once had a trade that was live but wasn’t showing up and there was no 24/7 support line. The site says to call a number but when I do it tells me that it’s only open during specific hours.

Thank you for your review. While the vast majority of our customers experience smooth connectivity and execution, local device or network performance can sometimes cause lag. Please check whether you have multiple browsers or other resource-intensive platforms open, as these can affect your connection. For optimal performance, we recommend closing any unnecessary applications and running only TradingView. As a reminder, you also have access to our 24-hour trade desk. The contact details were provided in your welcome email, but our support team would be happy to send them to you again. Once we help you resolve this, we hope you might consider updating your score (if you feel we have earned it). We truly appreciate your feedback and will use it to better serve all our customers. Wishing you the best in your trading!

Optimus Futures fused with trading view is the pinnacle of order entry. The orders are placed instantly and conveniently. Optimus Futures customer service is top-tier which is rare. Whenever I need assistance with something the representatives are always there. I'm a Canadian who went with this brokerage/order entry platform and it has taken my trading to the next level.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review. Providing a smooth futures trading experience is our top priority, and it seems our technology partners have successfully delivered on that front.

We hope you continue to enjoy the trading experience you have with us.

Overall, my experience with Optimus Futures has been positive. The platform and account setup are good, and the service seems professional. However, I would like clarification regarding the margin requirement. On the website, the margin appears to be $100 per contract, but when I place trades, the required margin shows as $200 per contract. I hope the team can clarify the reason for this difference.
For now I'm totally pleased with TrdaingView integration: responsive and fast entries and exit, no lags whatsoever. Very happy with Optimus :)

Thank you for the great feedback! At Optimus Futures, our TradingView integration runs on CQG infrastructure, built for fast, low-latency entries and exits exactly like you're describing. We're thrilled it's running smoothly for you and look forward to keeping that experience going.

How you handle deposits and withdrawals leaves a lot to be desired

Thank you for the feedback, and we hear you. At Optimus Futures, we hold ourselves to a high standard across every part of the client experience, and we'd like to understand exactly what fell short so we can make it right. We hope your trading and platform execution are going well in the meantime — please reach out to our trade desk directly, and we'll work through the rest with you personally.

It would be ideal if fees were immediately taken out of trades so P&L was more accurate

Thank you for the five stars and the thoughtful feedback! At Optimus Futures, accurate P&L visibility matters to us too — commission data at the platform level is managed at the clearing level by the FCM, which means it requires a specific integration between your broker, CQG, and the clearing infrastructure rather than a simple platform setting. That said, we're actively working on a journal integration that will include full commission tracking to give you a cleaner picture of your net P&L. Stay tuned — we think you'll like what's coming.

This software is horrible...laggy, logs out of broker all the time

We're sorry to hear this and completely understand the frustration — platform reliability is critical when you're trading. At Optimus Futures, we manage the brokerage connection to TradingView via CQG infrastructure, which the vast majority of our traders experience as stable and consistent. Issues like lag and session dropouts often point to local network or configuration issues, and we'd like to work with you directly to diagnose and resolve them. Please reach out to our trade desk, and we'll get to the bottom of it right away.

Amazing my first live account upgraded to order flow depth of market on trading view for a great price. I’m excited to trade a live account vs prop form gymnastics. Customer service is amazing I typed my zip code which made logging in difficult so I called customer support and got an immediate response twice from a real person who fixed the issue immediately once we figured out what happened. The phone barley rang once I get email correspondence immediately it’s actually very impressive I couldn’t be happier with Optimus futures

I've been using TradingView for about 4 months now but this is by far the best platform I've ever used in the 30yrs I've been in the markets. Just opened my account with Optimus and so far I could not ask for any better. Jake is great to work with.
