AMP Global clearing ( bottom of this page) is used by many. You can fund account in the USA via SEPA ( via Barclays Bank in London) which is cheaper. https://www.ampfutures.com/client-portal/funding-instructions/ Myself, I am trying Trade Station whom you can fund via the bank they use in Dorset...

Correct -there is no PDT rule trading Futures.

Thanks Bugsy, your post is helpful. Sorry I didn't acknowledge it earlier.

Worse -people there seem to be lacking in knowledge and they only have MT4/5. I could try Tradestation Global who have a link to IBKR or even Tradestaion USA ( they always get back rapidly with an email lately - it's just that they only accept wires from the UK. At least AMP in the USA allow a...

Well -after trying LIVE CHAT on trade Station and AMP -and getting "leave an email and we will get back to you" - I would like to find a FUTURES ( Micro Futures) Broker catering for a UK based, small account ($1000 ) holder - and who has a chat facility that is actually "live." Suggestions...

Go get 'em Theo :)

Back to the question - why no young person running for president. Not enough financial backing ? Lately seems the US has to choose between geriatrics to run the country. Something is wrong?

Right on the button Tiddly. Micro's are ideal for getting your feet wet in Futures with real money and experiencing real trading related emotion. And no one is behind you waiting to pull the plug or crack the whip. If you can't trade Micro's it is a high probability you cannot trade per se.

That's a no then :-)

Ignoring the ranting here, as a non US resident it puzzles me that a large country such as the USA, can only field two elderly males as presidential candidates. Surely their must be many more younger, male and female, candidates for the role.

I am on the verge of funding a new TS account, but being in the UK I am wary of 'Wiring" funds to the USA ( fear of expense or losing the cash - not a lot since I am testing moving to Futures from CFD's and Spread betting in the UK). AMP has a slightly different system where the receiving bank...

Yes - Trade Station does (You can link Traderview charts with it).

If you use the European arm you can only use MT4 and MT5. The USA AMP presents you with a wide choice of platforms such as Sierra charts etc. You can also use Tradestation Global which is linked to Interactive brokers, Ninja trader etc.

Question for you Futures traders. I'm in the UK. Looking at trying micro's to transition from spread betting to Futures. I have looked at TradeStation linked to trader view charts and AMP linked to trader view charts. For a person new to Futures looking for simple buy/sell platform and...

And they have lots of free educational video's.:)

Yes -impressed. Been playing around with the TWS platform on my iMac ( no workarounds needed).Can get buy/sell/close buttons on bottom left of screen and able to scalp (one minute chart) Micro Mini's quite happily. Simple chart set up for one Micro ( for simple me) and still learning to...

Ken's Point three ( three losers and stop for the day) plus Volpri's Point three, are very sound points to be considered when considering a traders' use of self discipline in the market.

Any of you Futures sp500 traders come across this site? If so - what is your opinion of it as a learning source?

Trade Station

Trader HC still hasn't answered your question but simply stated he is trading firms capital. So is he profitable and still with the firm or unprofitable but, somehow, still with the firm ? And who cares :-)
