AMP Account balances exceeding 100K, double day trade margin

Once you get above 100K - the risk profile (if allowed to be at the same Super low margins) - in our opinion, starts to get out of our prudent risk parameters.

Even if you double our Super Low Day Trade Margins - they still a lot lower than other firms https://www.ampfutures.com/trading-info/margins/

OK, fine if all other customers are happy, who am i to suggest a better approach:

But this is how it works now (using NQ as an example):

50K, you can buy 50 lots
80K, you can buy 80 lots
90K, you can buy 90 lots
100K, you can buy 100 lots
120K, you can buy 60 lots
140K, you can buy 70 lots
160K, you can buy 80 lots
180K, you can buy 90 lots
200K, you can buy 100 lots
250K, you can buy 125 lots
300K, you can buy 150 lots

Below is what i was suggesting the approach should be:

50K, you can buy 50 lots
80K, you can buy 80 lots
90K, you can buy 90 lots
100K, you can buy 100 lots
120K, you can buy 100 lots
140K, you can buy 100 lots
160K, you can buy 100 lots
180K, you can buy 100 lots
200K, you can buy 100 lots
250K, you can buy 125 lots
300K, you can buy 150 lots

This is actually less risky for AMP. As it encourages customers like me to keep over $100K in the account, for the same level of risk to AMP. At the moment i will just withdraw the money each time my account goes above 100K, as i do not want my buying power to go down.

But I agree, it might be more difficult to explain to customers how this rule works and harder to implement in your back office.
