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).

    • Date: 5th June 2024. US Job Vacancies Fall to Their Lowest Level In 3 Years.     US Job Vacancies fell to their lowest level in more than 3 years adding to fears of economic contraction. This week US PMI data falls and there are now lower job vacancies. Has the US economy passed its peak and is now in a downfall? Analysts advise if bond yields drop below 4.300%, yields can fall as low as 4.00% in the near term. Stocks rise to a weekly high as investors predict earlier rate hikes. A pause in September has fallen to a 35.00% possibility (5.00% lower) according to the Chicago Exchange. USA500 – US Job Vacancies Fall to Their Lowest Level In 3 Years! The SNP500 on Tuesday struggled due to poor investor sentiment and fear of economic slowdown. However, the price rose due to the latest US JOLTS Job Openings which shows less job vacancies within the US economy. This is due to investors changing their view on future interest rate cuts. Investors are evaluating whether the poorer economic data will tempt the Federal Reserve to lower rates, which supports the economy and makes stocks more attractive. However, analysts advise a strong stock market needs a balance between the economy and monetary policy. If investors fear a recession, shareholders may opt to lower exposure to the stock market regardless of lower interest rates. In order to monitor investor sentiment, the market will continue to monitor the VIX which has risen over the past week. In addition to this, investors will also monitor if the High Low Index falls from recent highs. The JOLTS Job Openings has fallen from 8.49 million to 8.06 million and is 700,000 lower than the 6-month average. Investors will now give more importance to today’s ADP Employment Change and tomorrow’s Weekly Unemployment Claims. If both also significantly fall, stocks can gain upward momentum due to potentially lower rates or can collapse on recession fears. This will also depend on today’s ISM Services PMI. Analysts advise investors will ideally want to see lower employment data and a positive PMI or visa versa. We can see here there is a thin line between lower rates and a harsh landing. Over the past week bond yields have significantly fallen which is positive for the stock market. However, the 10-Year Treasuries are 0.013% lower now. If bond yields fall below 4.300%, the yields can fall as low as 4.000% which is known to be positive for stocks in general. Oil prices have fallen almost 9% in 5-days which could also improve sentiment and weaken inflation over the next 2-months. European stocks open higher as we approach the European Cash Open. However, investors will monitor the price movement after the US news releases. The SNP500’s price is currently trading above the main sentiment lines and Moving Averages which is a positive indication. Now the price is slightly lower but if it rises above $5,306.83 without forming a lower low beforehand, buy signals will become stronger.   USDJPY – The Japanese Yen Witnesses The Largest Currency Decline! The day’s worst performing currency is the Japanese Yen while the best performing is the US Dollar. Even though the US Dollar is being pressured by a higher chance of lower rates, the Fed’s policy is still more competitive than most Central Banks. In addition to this, the Dollar’s safe haven element may also play a part. The exchange rate is witnessing buy signals on most indicators, but technical analysts are cautious after already seeing a 0.72% climb this morning.   Bank of Japan (BoJ) Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino stated today that officials should closely monitor yen movements due to their potential significant impact on the national economy. Consequently, currency weakness will be a crucial factor in deciding the timing and extent of the next increase in borrowing costs. BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda also emphasized that the regulator’s primary objective is to allow the market to set long-term interest rates while retaining the capability to scale back large-scale bond purchases in the short term.
