AMP Trading

Hands down the best

Amp futures is hands down the best futures firm out there from the lowest cost to trade to excellent tech support to the safety of my funds. i have read thru some of the reviews and the AMP bashers sound like 2 yr olds...AMP wouldnt be in business if they treated people the way they claim...im guessing these folks dont understand the process and would pretty much complain about anything. that being said my experience has been rather enjoyable with them and i would recommend them to anyone looking to get started in futures. just my 2 cents

Customer Service above and beyond

I have nothing but good things to say about AMP from their super low commissions to state of the art platforms...that i dont have to pay to use. But i have to take a moment to comment on their customer service. I had an issue and called in and got Ignacio. He was so helpful and friendly and took the time to walk me thru my problem and how to troubleshoot it next time. Very courteous and professional from beginning to end....i am glad i have these guys to rely on.

The best brokerage. Period.

Their prices are the best and their support is fast and excellent. I would recommend AMP to any traders. The fact that they offers so many platforms for free is awesome (I personally use multicharts). They really run the extra mile to make their customers happy.

From Canada, thank you AMP!

Good Experience

I am a beginner and has been with AMP for 18 months.

AMP has a nice platforms, great personal service, fast execution, and a reliable free data feed. Their rates are not to bad either... very cheap with low deposit. New Metatrader5 for futures pretty interesting. I like they chat support. The best part for me is free ACH in and out. I think AMP is the only one who offer them.

Crooks

I'm just starting out in futures trading and I joined AMP as they assured me that if I deposit money in to my account I can use all the trading platforms they offer and demo trade with them without paying a fee. I specifically asked about the $15 CME bundle fee and was advised and assured that it won't be charged to my account unless I start to trade live. So I opened an account with them I'm wired couple of hundred dollars into my account. This is the start of a nightmare.

Of course they charged me the CME bundle fees straight away. I requested it to be cancelled twice and on those occasions I was advised that it's been successfully deactivated on my account which, of course, it's still active! Also after two months they started to charge me more than $15 without any notice. When I got in touch with them again, the answer became, there is no way to avoid that fee as it's charged by CME. Doesn't seem to be the same answer as the previous ones!

When i decided to withdrawal my money. It got worse. Withdrawal requests rejected for multiple reasons and they charged me the withdrawal fee anyway even though they rejected the requests. After almost three weeks I still do not have my money!

Thanks AMP, I'm sure you'll get rich just by take $15 here and $30 there from you clients. What a great business model.

And also, the guy name Daniel there is a waste of food and air. He provides outright wrong information, super rude and would never apologize for the trouble caused by the wrong information he provided. No customer service what so ever.

Award winner and very cheap too.

I opened an account with Amp 10 months ago. Very cheap and professional broker. In Stock & Commodity magazine - READER Choice Awards 2015 for the Best Futures Brokerage, AMP is #3 after Interactive Brokers and TD Ameritrade. That speaks a lot for itself. So I am sticking with AMP for a while. Just my 2cents. ?.

Best broker in retail in my opinion.

Just read previous post – In my experience, could not be further for the truth. Multicharts is terrific platform. And It is free at AMP. I transfer to AMP in Jan.2015 after Mirus /Big Tick Debacle. This is the best broker in retail in my opinion. Great selections of platforms. Recently I switch to Free Multicharts.net from NinjaTrader. Amp lets you jump between all the free platforms with no problem. Customer service is superb. The live chart is quite useful and all those agents helped solve all my problems accurately. More over they have 3 data connections . Not to mention 300 dollar margins and $500 to open account. I am a very happy camper with AMP.

Multicharts seems like a mature product. The same outfit has been doing software for traders for a lot of years. Before MC they produced add-ons for Tradestation and their stuff worked 100% in all my experience with them. I Beta tested some of it and even the Betas were reliable...

Horrendous

A very bad broker with a dreadful customer service.

After a month, I don't know who my contact is. I emailed two different contacts and no answer. There is only a "Live Chat".

The special platform of Multicharts that they offer for FREE ("Multicharts Special Edition") is awful. It doesn't work, gives contradictory information and even the function "Flatten Everything" doesn't work properly.

Besides, when that happened to me, I asked for "flatten everything" to the "Live Chat" and they didn't do properly. Fortunately, I check my daily statements every day, and that's when I found out that I had an open position with 62 pips against me. Nobody assumed any responsibility.

And what's more, for withdrawing and closing my account, I needed three requests in order to be executed.

Be wise. Don't play with money. Look for another broker and run away from AMP Clearing (www.ampfutures.com)

Great as long as nothings wrong

I've used amp trading along with ninja trader over the past four years. Started with a small account and opened it up to test the platform and and broker. When it comes the platform, helping you set up, create an account and with trade questions they've been great.

What I don't like is that when I signed up initially for an account I accidentally registered for an unwanted data feed which cost an extra $7/month. I didn't need it so I took the time to write an email to cancel the data feed. Nothing happened. A month later the fee is still there so I called them, they said they fixed it, but nothing changes when I see my statement for the month same fee is still there. I call back, again and again, it took 6 months for them to get this fee from my account. And they didn't reimburse me for it

Recently my account has been inactive, haven't used it for about 6 months but I look at my statement and there's a new $15 fee/month for some new data bundle that started showing up 4 months ago slowly eating a away my account while I haven't been trading. It was not there before and like I said I don't use this account and nothing on my end has changed. Even though it might not seem like much the principle of it pisses me off, feels like these guys know that they can skim off the top and most people just will walk away, seems a bit shady and is frustrating to deal with them about.

Professional broker

I had Ninjatrader installation problem. I tried to fix it for hours. I called AMP customer service . They picked up the phone on the second ring and solved my problem in seconds. I must say I am impressed with they services. I would recommend them with no reservations. Though I have been with them since December 2013 after switching from another broker, AMP so far has been real professional and cheap brokerage with great customer service.
