Hey MV, why do I get the feeling that we've both taken a few bucks out of poor old hitnrun's pockets??

So in your infinite wisdom, do you think that you could find the time to tell us WHO has the best brokers if AMP's are so awful? Of course, that's only if you're able to squeeze that little piece of info in between insults...

Please hitnrun, read this... They may even want to experiment on you :D http://www.apa.org/topics/anger/control.aspx

Now, now - no need to get so testy. I'm just waiting for one simple answer from you. What broker would you recommend?

Haha, what would I do without ET to get me through a boring day?? Peace and Love back at you bro! Oh yeah, and I still don't think you've offered the OP an alternative so who DO YOU trade with for the record?

apologies if I offended... I'm going to try taking the high road here

Lol, if YOU read those previous threads you would have also noticed that I asked for an apology from AMP and agreed the comment was unprofessional - looks like it was dealt with. But I'm sure such a well spoken person such as yourself has never said anything unprofessional in whatever it is you...

Very mature friend... and by the way, who is your fantastic broker that beats AMP and why? For the record, I'm not saying they are hands down the best broker available, simply that I haven't personally had any issues with their CQG/NT feed or their service. Also, when I was setting up my...

Well, apart from some possibly hasty comments that appear to have been addressed in this thread, I have to say that my broker there has been very knowledgeable - especially in regards to NT. He addressed all my questions and I've never had a problem getting responses to my inquiries. I did...

For those more knowledgeable in the structure and segregation of funds for brokerages, wasn't MF an IB as well? I thought that AMP, Mirus, Global etc... were all IB's. So how did MF manage to dip into client funds in this case? Also, I'm not as worried about the prop arm frontrunning...

Good info, thanks for the clarification :cool: JO

I would think that the MF Global collapse should be sufficient evidence that a prop trading arm can pose some fairly substantial risk. The fact that there is much less regulation regarding the activities of Brokerages coupled with the lack of accountability and reporting standards is the key...

Interesting, I didn't know that Mirus had a prop arm. Definitely a concern IMO! Curious (and I really would like to know peoples opinions) about AMP clearing. It wasn't a concern for me since I personally like the clearing business model.

Can't argue there, recording the binary files is a bit of a pain. Not sure why ninja doesn't incorporate a CD function... of course that topic has been beaten to death already :D

Not sure that's accurate. I use CD, its free with the gomcd pack in the NT forum or you can get the updated versions if you pay for the bigmike subscription.

Depends if you think the oversold conditions are temporary, resulting in a short bounce and then back down or if you're anticipating a full reversal. Easiest thing for a full reversal would be to buy back the 1100 and hold the long 1150 - easy to get out of if your directional bet is off and...

I've been using CQG through AMP for just under a year with no problems either. I demo'd both for awhile and didn't see any noticeable difference. FYI - I'm not automated and I do not trade full time either. Part time discretionary only.

Thanks for the reply. I have a pretty solid grasp of the insurance business model, in regards to rate risk and asset/liability matching... that sort of info. I was just hoping that someone in a similar position could shed some light on what type of questions I may be looking at. JO

I recently had to move and unfortunately its very much blue collar with pretty limited opportunities. I have to explain to most people what a scheduler is (it exists in a very limited capacity here). I thought an analyst position sounds interesting too, maybe not overly glamorous but hopefully...

Interesting topic, I was feeling unbeatable for the first half of this year but the past few months have been an absolute bloodbath! I'm in one of those times when every trade seems to move way against me no matter how confident I am in my setup... now I'm feeling like I want to size up because...
