Optimus Futures is an independent futures introducing broker based in Boca Raton, Florida, founded by industry veteran Matt Zimberg. Being independent, it clears trades through several partner futures commission merchants instead of just one, which lets it offer a wide mix of platforms and services.
The firm is registered with the CFTC and is an NFA member. Its flagship Optimus Flow platform, built on the Quantower engine, is free to funded clients and adds order flow tools like volume heatmaps. It also supports Rithmic, Sierra Chart, TradingView, Bookmap, and other platforms, plus micro futures and event based contracts.
User reviews are mixed. Trustpilot feedback leans positive, but some clients report withdrawal fees between 20 and 60 dollars, no ACH withdrawal option, and live chat handled mainly by a bot rather than a person. The Optimus Flow desktop platform only runs on Windows, not Mac. A free trial of Optimus Flow is currently offered on the broker's own site.
