I am not fortunate to trade such size but by watching the tape and volume I would think one can "sneak" through much larger than even 50. I don't see why even 200 would cause significant problems. also...if the pits do eventually die out completely as some predict, that volume will also be...

in fairness, updating my above post.....issue was taken care of today and turns out it was not AMP's fault and in addition had much to do with my email server as to the reason they did not receive my additional requests so I feel better now.

thankfully it's just talk right now and any of these changes would likely take years if they do go through but yeah, I don't like to hear that stuff either.

depends how you are using it. I often use the $500 intra-day margin but not in terms of open positions. I will use it to have multiple pending limit orders on ES where it's important to be near the front of the line at S/R levels. So, while I may be using the aggressive margin so that I can...

considering you can open a futures or forex account with 1K and day trade it without restriction, yes, one of the silliest rules in existence.

this same thing happened to me when I use to trade stocks at IB a few years back.

I don't want to bash AMP because they are my broker and my problems are more annoying than detrimental to my trading. I have several accounts with them because I have trading authority over a few friends of mine accounts. example: I requested 2 weeks ago that the accounts be set up to have...

no prob. glad to hear your happy. I have my accounts with AMP too but having some concerns lately so nice to hear positives.

Chopin, please don't take this as an attack because if you are truly happy with AMP then that's great, and your feedback is welcome, HOWEVER.........I must ask...do you work for AMP ? I notice you just registered this month and all 8 of your posts are about AMP and how great it is. If you...

just down the page a bit is a 7 page thread about AMP and Mirus so you can get lots of AMP opinions there. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=120680&perpage=6&pagenumber=1

downloaded it for free. Was worth a quick read. How much did people pay for it ?

I have several accounts with AMP and overall I'm happy with them. I will say there have been several occasions, such as mentioned by earlier posts, where I've had to call several times to get something done. This is more annoying than anything and it doesn't affect my $$. The feed has been near...

AMP accounts still go through Dorman. Your account is technically with Dorman as that's where your statements and 1099 come from. please elaborate on what you mean about used to be a guaranteed IB ?

yes, exactly. Who cares if you get a $1.00 cheaper RT if you routinely give that up to multiple tick slippage and/or have to deal with wide spread.

has anyone been trading the electronic GC? what kind of experiences have you had with it ?

what do you mean by "gold doesn't always honor trades and will fill your sells lower. " ? are you referring to slippage? Yeah, there is slippage sometimes just like with most instruments. I am not aware of any extra weirdness. Please elaborate.

wanted to start a central thread for the pro's and con's of trading the 3 different Gold futures contracts. what is the general consensus in terms of liquidity, slippage, volume, fees, etc ? I have my own opinions but want to hear others first. Thanks.

thanks Bob777. I appreciate it.

standard response. Now I remember why I stopped coming to this website a few months ago. Good to see nothing has changed. :( I don't see why it is so naive or crazy that I might want to reference other S/R work out there and see what it looks like compared to my own that I prepare...

any thoughts or suggestions on some free websites or paid services that provide daily S/R levels for various futures contracts ? not really concerned with what methods that are derived from just looking for some other levels to reference and compare with my own. thanks
