AMP Global Clearing ES Fees

Recommended Posts

No matter what is the commissions of other brokers DON’T use AMP they are outright thieves at the end you’re going to lose having a broker like them

 

Can you supply some details to backup your claim? How could they be "thieves"? Was your experience based on placing orders with them electronically?

I used them 2-3 years ago...at the time it was $4.80 round trip per contract.

 

I see on their website they say on the home page that they will match or beat any written commission quote (for Ninjatrader, at least).

Please elaborate. I would have had nothing bad to say at all about AMP so I am interested to hear your experience.

I've had nothing but good experiences with AMP, and with IB for that matter. Making gratuitous unsupported defamitory statements about someone is both useless and a reflection more on the maker of such claims thatn the absent person it's made about.

 

AMP costs can be found on their website. And they now support MultiCharts with both CQG and Zenfire.

I was just on AMP's site earlier today for tech support... they recently adjusted their commission rates to become the cheapest NinjaTrader broker. When I asked a broker about this (read: evidence), he told me about the Exact Cost Calculator (AMP Cost Calculator) that allows you to select any of their available platforms (apparently they now have Market Delta, Multicharts, and even my favorite Trade Navigator). :2c:

That's a great resource and provides very competitive rates. Thanks for the heads up.

Looking at the AMP cost calculator I'd avoid if my assumptions are correct:

 

They seem to charge for data on your trading platform. You should never have to pay for this as data should be covered in your exchange charges. They seem to charge for Eurex data in this example. You should only pay for data on an application that has no execution ability - such as a charting platform.

 

Also, why would you feed a trading platform with a 3rd party data feed (CQG or Zenfire)? Thats just more latency. I appreciate were not HFT here, but data direct from the exchange via a trading platform will always be faster and perhaps more accurate than data thats got a few more hops in it. The last thing you need it to be hitting that offer, just to see your order join the queue. Same for cancels - when you hit pull and find you're filled.

 

deepdiscounttrading.com may look shabby from the website, but they offer as good rates as AMP, if not better and a wider selection of platforms. They also cater for professional/high volume traders. Dont be put off by the web site. They use Crosslands as their FCM

 

Velocity Fututres is a broker I would strike off any potential list. I had an account with them some time ago. I'd find my positions were often incorrect, I'd have contracts placed in my account I never traded, my P&L was sometimes wrong. They'd always correct the problems fairly quickly but they shouldnt have happened in the first place. Especially when they happened on more than one occasion on the same day!!

 

Velocity staff I also found to be extremely rude, and on one occasion, dishonest (over a fairly trivial point).

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
