hi met68
I recommend you not to despair and to recover, tie your account to another broker and make money

;-)

There was a nice spread trade shortly after the open today, but alas, AMP have blocked my account.....

Will give OEC another try. Hopefully they have resolved the FIX connection issues between them and Sierrachart. May also give eSignal a try (in combo with OEC), as eSignal seem to have some spread trading capability (to replace X_Trader Pro, which I used with AMP).

In summary, a whole lot of time and money wasted thanks to the repeated and manifold incompetences of AMP. Therefore certainly not a broker I would recommend to anybody who trades seriously.

The Rithmic trading platform service supports exchange traded spreads and strategies

* Markets produce an enormous volume of information, much of which is redundant
* In every game and con there's always an opponent, and there's always a victim. The trick is to know when you're the latter, so you can become the former

@ Jonson,

Thanks. I have tried the Rithmic platform and didn't get along with it. Just a personal thing. Also, I do not trade exchange traded spreads, but create my own instead.

AMP is getting more bizarre by the minute.

So apart from blocking my account for trading, I have spoken to the AMP support team about why my overnight spread position last Thursday was treated completely differently just a day later, resulting in a forced liquidation of part of the spread (or rather one leg of the spread). The support team tell me, that they cannot tell me, but that I need to contact [email protected], which seems to be the e-mail address of Dan Culp, who I think is the AMP President.

But I have not heard back from him.

In the meantime, I am finding that an other internal transfer has happened between my two accounts. But this transfer was not requested by me and both accounts are flat and have plenty of funds. So this is now the second time, AMP have transferred funds between my accounts without instruction from me to do so. And when I last requested such a transfer, the requested transfer did not happen.

I am glad to be getting out, as the rate of random AMP actions relating to my accounts is increasing at an alarming rate. They are clearly out-of-control now.

Time I think for me to get a solicitor involved, given the various things that have happened these last few days.

Just a fun thought. I noticed when receiving a statement email from one my broker's AMP
that they also had an office address in Los Angeles! Right in Century City, Beverly Hills,
off of the Santa Monica Blvd. (google maps photos attached)

So probably somewhere in the building to the right. And the treeline on the far right is the
famous BH wooded area.

Interesting, TDAmeritrade (/w ThinkorSwim) also has a nice new office area close to the Rodeo and Wilshire central
areas of Beverly Hills. Like a new financial trading area of the West coast traders.

If so many people have probs why do you still use them?
Just move on??
Not like there aren't many options to chose from??

The main reason some people still stick with Amp is because of their low day-trading margin and the lowest commission for those connecting to TTnet.

Now that the new Ninjatrader brokerage has very low commission for lifetime license holders, I'm switching to them next month. I really had enough of Amp's unprofessional and discourteous way of dealing with so many problems!!! I'd rather pay slightly higher commission at the Ninjatrader broker (Continuum is slightly more expensive than Amp's TTnet currently), then to worry sick about my AMP account!!!
