AMP Futures and Mirus (NinjaTrader Brokerage as of June 30 2014), which one is better
It took me hours with the Tech guy to make a wire out of AMP. I had to fill out the form more than 30 times,in differents browsers and versions. And the guy even told me to reboot my machine! Come on! It was just an HTML form! Don't trust the TI guys at AMP futures anymore.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I had both an AMP and Mirus account. I am no longer with either as I have moved to spot forex. AMP seemed fine. I had a small issue with Ninja. My rep tried to figure out the problem. Made negative comments on my small account size ( he forgot he told me to open a $500 trial account to check them out in the first place--which I did!) and then lost interest in solving the problem. Overall the guy was nice but very salesman like. Their feed seemed fine. When I closed the account I got my check in a few days. A few months latter I was getting call backs from AMP. Mirus had the best customer service. My rep, Rich, was a great guy, down to earth, very helpful, and supportive. When I closed my account I got a check within a few days as well. Rich was very nice about everything. I personally would go with Mirus over AMP based on customer service alone. I am now using TOS with TD Ameritrade for spot forex. I have a love hate relationship with them
Problems filling out a simple wire request? Some of the complaints about AMP may be attributed to general user issues rather than to AMP. I have done many wires at AMP without any problems

"If there is any question?"
there are no questions!, Mirus over AMP, any day of the week, and twice on weekends!
So many professional traders and sophisticated retail traders use Mirus that the only problem you should have (except for the whiners and children type traders needing a thousand hours hand holding),
the only problem you should have, is in getting through to the same broker when he's handling another account's call.
Peregrine Financial, or whomever was in the news recently, where the 2nd or 3rd in charge took over $228 million customer funds for his own trading purposes.....
DUH...
Corazine's defunct firm that took well over $1 billions customer funds, and created a new verb in the process: "disappeared the funds", according to so many published news stories....
DUH....
We recently received more than one sincerely written letter from the principals of Mirus, and their clearing agents regarding their commitment to vigilance regarding the sanctity of customer funds, and preserving them....
DUH....
so, what matters most?
I think right up there, next to making a profitable trade, is knowing that my balances are and will still be properly and legally segregated and available for my purposes, not others...
Mirus is a broker/dealer, AMP is just a broker, please tell me you know the difference between them?
And Mirus was bought not long ago by a prop trading firm hard eight futures, im not sure if that is such a good thing.
I don't know what on Earth to think of that really, when Goldman Sachs Atlas proprietary risk rating is 82, and RCG is 34. PFG was 37 and Credit Suisse is 69
