You can trade only one data feed via one account however apply to a number of softwares if necessary. However, in the event that one data fails, we can promptly switch to another.
This is a very rare occurrence.

.In these mkts, I have not done 1,000 daily, for several months; trade at IB, although considered AMP.
I've used very small FCMs in past, but one should be aware of capital base of clearing firms:
http://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/FinancialDataforFCMs/index.htm
AMP has less than $ 2 1/2 million. I prefer my FCM to be worth more than I am. Yes, I'm aware of various safeguards, but that does not mean funds might not be tied-up in delays, should there be a problem.
I have nothing against AMP, other than low capital, and although I don't yet do business with Matt at Optimus, we've communicated, and I think he is competent, and interested in his clients.
wow GS is the biggest 17bil!
They have segregated account for customer fund. I always keep my account balance less than 100K since only $40000 is required to execute 100 contracts. I can always withdraw free to Wellsfargo so I don't see a problem. I am not so sure, but I heard Optimus uses AMP as FCM so wouldn't Optimus get into problem if AMP goes bust?
Obviously AMP is for day trading with low cost with low margin. For long term investment, I use bigger broker such as Tradestation since overnight margins are equal across all brokers.
@whitewater2828, who is that broker, is it Transact Futures ?
