Disliked{quote} Here's the reason why I personally opted against going with them. They have good support model, training, education, relationship mgmt etc but what they wanted me to sign, I said to myself "WTF" {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} yep... plus, I get VERY annoyed if anyone calls me with a sales pitch. I don't even pick up the phone because marketers use very sophisticated tactics to suck you into signing up. There is tremendous amount of behavioral science behind this shit. As a rule of thumb, I NEVER EVER speak to any relationship managers from any financial institutions. I got burnt with FXCM's rep "hand-holding" me, coaching me, slowly brainwashing me into doing more deposits after blown accounts and encouraging me to try their shit published on dailyFX. I am definitely...Ignored

Disliked{quote} oh... by bracket orders, do you mean OCO type orders or is it just a market/limit order with attached stoploss and take profit. If it is the latter, attached stop loss should always trigger regardless of slippage. That is the basis for centralized order matching process within CME. Nik - where are you bud? We need you to confirm our understanding please. This was the primary reason why I went the basket trading route to manage my portfolio risk in FX and also the primary reason why I want to move to futures. I got burnt with Interactive...Ignored
Disliked{quote} that's true for all retail. this is not new. it's been like that since the pit days i think. they can front run (illegal now) or take other side..either way, one going to lose, the ohter might win. if i was a broker and i know most retail traders are morons, why not take other side of the trades if i am capitalized? it doesn't break cme laws Consent to Take the Other Side of Orders – Without its prior notice, Customer agrees that (i) AMP may engage in preexecution communications in accordance with applicable rules and regulations relating...Ignored
Disliked{quote} This is beyond depressing lol. I guess everything goes under "self-regulating bodies" which is such a stupid term used in this industry. I better stop here before I lose my faith... I am almost ready to go live again :-(Ignored

Disliked{quote} It was an OCO order, oh yeah i remember more now, many occasions my sl aka stop order opened a new position on the otherside. How about that?Ignored
Disliked{quote} anyone taking other side of your orders have no bearings on the market. it's just a liquidity transaction. it's like you're blaming market makers that exist in the equity markets for selling your shares. obviously these brokers are not liquidity providers..they're trying to profit from the losers among us... but still..not effect on the market or price dynamics.Ignored

Disliked{quote} my stink detection tells me they are shady lol interesting to see phillip and dorman to be bigger than AMP. I am really leaning towards moving IRA (eventually over 200K) and trade futures. any suggestions anyone? I am currently with Interactive brokers but their platform really suck and they force to run TWS in parallel with Sierra for 3rd party API calls to their order matching engine which also sucks. For now AMP is fine but not a good partner in the long run imo. they are just too small. EDIT: There is no mention of "York" in their account...Ignored
