The other day, I had a little problem with a trade not posting to my RCG portal. I emailed Mirus & had a response back within 10 minutes.

After what I saw at Amp, for that I'll kiss their feet,...

Mirus - Online form & same day wire transfer

With Mirus, there is also an online form to request a wire transfer. When I've done it before 11 AM CST, I've always had the funds back in my bank account same day.

Granted, I'm in the US & have...

Absolutely incredible

I can imagine folks would find Amp useful if and only if they never had to interact with another human being at the firm. That would mean a trade never goes awry, banking happens flawlessly, and...

My point is rather simple. With in-house clearing there isn't one additional check before a wire can be sent using your funds to satisfy a corporate obligation. Thus, prop trading at Mirus doesn't...

Yes. That is precisely what I was referring to. Transparency.

Nothing analogous at amp.

The situation at MF Global was a complete lack of transparency, combined with prop trading and in-house...

My opinion is quite the opposite. The bigger and older clearing firm is safer, particularly when removed from the broker. As I think I've made clear, Mirus' reach into client assets held elsewhere...

Suffice it to say, I'd rather chew on broken glass, wash it down with gasoline & have a match for dessert than trade with amp ever again.

The remainder of my experience with amp, I've listed...

Completely agree. Don't know about Velocity.

But Amp is totally unacceptable. Been there. Done that.

Yes, Mirus is very good.

And that inactivity fee I can't imagine ever being a problem for me.

But one question "VF" is that "velocity futures" you ditched? I had been curious about them as I'd heard great things...

AMP is horrible

Traded both side by side for 3 months

I traded same positions, same lot size with roughly the same account size.
