I went through the excersise of trying to figure out Zenfire a few weeks ago. Zenfire is primarily trade execution technology which includes market data. Apparently, it's based on Rithmic's trade execution software (www.rithmic.com) and 7 Ticks network (www.7ticks.com). Since Rithmic and 7 Ticks want to remain FCM and IB neutral, they do not advertise Zenfire. I think Zenfire is a marketing name that either NinjaTrader or Mirus Futures put on the technology.
Mirus Futures is the primary contact for ZenFire (www.mirusfutures.com). They seem to be the broker most influencing Zenfire's functionality.
Since we're discussing broker datafeeds, I think a better fit for AmiBroker than ZenFire would be TransAct Future's datafeed (www.transactfutures.com). The reason I think it would be a better fit is because TransAct has a complete order entry platform but lacks charting. Ensign, Sierra Charts, and Trade Navigator have already built interfaces with TransAct and are advertised on TransAct's home page.

David
