Futures brokers - Trading-Lab

I like the recent info on the e-mini and have been looking into this. I was hoping maybe someone here could offer some experiences with specific futures brokers?

I've been using Open E Cry for a while. I'm very happy with them, so far. They offer several account types: active traders, introducing brokers, and institutional accounts. they also have a pretty intuitive API, if you are into automated system trading.

let's not forget that interactive brokers offers futures trading and rock bottom commissions, if you are looking for a futures trading solution with no fancy bells and whistles

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be looking into them.
I'm looking for a platform with customizable charting and stock/futures lists that can be created and saved.
