Reply from Optimus Futures

We’re sorry to hear you had a difficult time getting set up. While CQG’s QTrader is a widely used platform, we recognize that the setup process can sometimes feel more complex depending on the connection or features selected.

Our team is always available to walk clients through installation and configuration step by step — whether by phone, email, or remote support — and we’ve successfully assisted many traders in getting up and running smoothly.

We’d be glad to review your setup with you directly to ensure everything works as it should. We sent you an email to help you out.

Thank you so much for your honest review—and most importantly, for giving us the opportunity to serve you.

We're thrilled to hear that you found our customer support exceptional. That’s something we take great pride in, and it's a cornerstone of our commitment to every trader, new or experienced.

Regarding your suggestion about having everything in one place like some other platforms: we truly appreciate the feedback. We understand the appeal of an all-in-one dashboard, and we’re actively exploring ways to improve and streamline the user experience.

That said, one of the key advantages we offer—especially for new traders—is flexibility without extra cost. Our clients enjoy access to professional-grade platforms without licensing fees or different commission structures based on software subscription. Plus, with our tiered pricing, the more you trade, the less you pay—a benefit that grows with you.

We also serve a diverse trading community that often prefers different platforms and data feeds. While that can make creating a one-size-fits-all solution more complex, it allows us to cater to traders who want choice and control over their trading setup.

We believe in transparency, customization, and earning your trust every step of the way. Thanks again for your feedback—we're always evolving, and it’s voices like yours that help shape our future.

Reply from Optimus Futures

Thank you for your feedback. We want to clarify that transparency is a top priority at Optimus Futures, and we go beyond simply listing terms on our website.

Before any customer receives trading credentials, we conduct a personalized onboarding process that reviews and reiterates key details, including margin requirements, platform choices, and any applicable costs or policies. This is in addition to what’s already available during the application process and on our website.

If any part of the process were unclear, we would have been happy to address it with you directly. We’re always available by phone or email to address any questions. We encourage all traders to take a moment to review the information presented carefully. Doing so helps ensure a smoother and more informed experience.

We appreciate the opportunity to clarify and are available if you would like to discuss further.

the start of the cooperation went badly,

At exactly the same time as I opened an account with you, I opened an account with another broker ... all the formalities (the same as with the other broker) were completed - including the processing of my application took 10 days longer with you. So completely incomprehensible are your advertisements about opening an account in 10 minutes .... when you then have to wait ‘ages’.

Among other things, due to the information that I corresponded by email, I made 3 international transfers according to the wrong data and thus lost more than $50 (by the way, the company could, until reaching this amount, not charge fees for opening/closing positions).

a big handicap is that you do not maintain a toll-free (international) phone number as is the case with at least two brokers I know.

Two dots for the efficient service already after the account was funded and the smooth connection of me to the sierra chart system.

Reply from Optimus Futures

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

That said, we would like to clarify a few crucial points:
First, while we respect your right to compare brokers, we are focused solely on maintaining our high standards of regulatory compliance, not adjusting our processes based on what other brokers may or may not do. Particularly when handling foreign and corporate accounts, we are required to follow strict verification procedures that naturally take more time than a simple individual application. These steps are not optional for us—they are part of operating as a regulated and transparent broker.

Second, regarding commission charges: we cannot waive them, as all futures trades incur mandatory exchange, clearing, and regulatory fees. These costs are industry standards and cannot be eliminated by any broker without compromising regulatory obligations.

Additionally, we onboard a large number of international clients regularly without complications. Unfortunately, we cannot explain why you encountered difficulty following the process, but the structure and instructions we provide have consistently proven successful for many traders around the world.

We do, however, appreciate your recognition of the smooth service you received once your account was funded and your platform setup was completed. We are proud to deliver strong support once the account is active.

Thank you again for your feedback. We wish you success in your trading journey.

Optimus Futures

By far the best broker I’ve been with

By far the best broker I’ve been with. I’m a long veteran trader for trading about 7+ years with 2.5M AUM. I do wanna say, I had a lot of issues with well known brokers until moving over to Optimus Futures. The whole on boarding process is smooth, depositing around high 5 figures with no issues, and now trading live smooth.

Jake my man, calls me for any issues when he sees something going wrong or if anything needs my attention. I usually call him weekly to just catch up and give him good wishes. Thank you again and I truly appreciate it.

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

I've only dealt with two people: Jake and Marilyn. Both excellent but let me give a shoutout to Jake. He is one of the best techs I've ever dealt with... and that's saying something since I go back to the days when the Ba$tard Operator from Hell was the norm.

Jake is patient, professional and very knowledgeable. His instructions are clear, concise and easy to implement, even by a "noobie_trader," It is always a pleasure to deal with him. In fact, I look forward to it, though I don't get much chance since he usually resolves an issue without any need for clarification or follow-up. So it's kinda nice to get a chance to show my appreciation.

Thank you so much for this fantastic review—and the smile it brought! 😄 We truly appreciate the kind words about your experience and are glad to hear that Jake and Marilyn made a strong impression. It’s clear you know a thing or two about support teams, so your praise carries extra weight!

Jake is a standout—patient, sharp, and always committed to giving clear and effective guidance, especially to those just getting started. We’re lucky to have him on our team, and your recognition means the world. 🙌

We’re here whenever you need us, even if Jake solves things a little "too quickly"! Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. 🤝✨
