Praise to AMP they deserve it.

well nothing beats an office in the cme building routed to mizuho bank but that was where you had to be to compete.

i have several small accounts all over the place and after some retirement time about 7 years now. i have a desire to make a shit-ton of money "for myself of course, no apologies" and some charities.

i have used and tried every product there is but when you consider products you can do yourself without staff that narrows it down to retail products mostly. there many great products and companies available like never before. i paid $10,000.00 for a gig of ram once, a Cray was close to 1mm back in the day, so to me it's a crazy great time for at home traders.

You were probably in another league than me, but back in the early 90s (before Internet was even on anyone's mind), you really had to literally call in to place your orders. How many people even care to remember that? All for $50 a pop. Today, with just a click of the mouse, everything is done for you. And it costs just a fraction. Nobody should be complaining.

lol... I remember that... back in '95 (as I recall). No micros and no e-mini. Don't remember what it cost to trade, but do remember having to call in my trade to Chicago... and Signal (no eSignal at that time) and taping that FM antenna up on my patio door to get quotes. :)

I had never traded or even bought stock before. That experience was like cutting my teeth on razor blades!! Needless to say, I didn't last long back then. lol

I think there is a song for that.


(Sorry, cannot help myself.)
 
It is not AMP servers that do the trade executions. It is Rithmic/CGQ/TT etc.

AMP is not like IB, IB do everything: brokerage, clearing and order execution.
that's only partially correct. Every order needs to go to your broker for the risk check. So even the fastest execution venue will be turned to shit if your brokers server is a potato with wires

You may be right. But i get the feeling that the risk management server could well be hosted by and closely integrated with the execution platform. With the broker/clearer having real time control and full admin rights over each of it's customers accounts on the risk management server.
Thats sounds like a better way of doing it vs the execution platform constantly pinging the broker's servers for risk checks.
