    "AMP's response to recent news concerning alleged improprieties at PFG"

    Interesting... if this happens Dorman is out of business or will be merged also. They only have about $596,000 cash and the rest assets are securities & exchange memberships used for their assets. What are these securities? And how long will the exchange memberships keep this value? And what...

    I can't agree more. I came to AMP with the group and start using NinjaTrader/CQG and has been trading for approx. a year. Neither I nor my trading buddies had any problems with them.

    for Ninja 7.0 - Zenfire or CQG?

    I have done research on Zen-Fire and found it was a white label of Rithmic and was very expensive compared to CQG.
