Disliked{quote} 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. {image}Ignored

Disliked{quote} i started my trading journey with Datek Online which got bought by TD then moved to Scottrade which was also bought by TD and now have all my non-IRA investing accounts with TD. TOS is great software but their margin requirements are not suitable for regular and retirement accounts... no such thing as "day margin" with them. IBKR is great but their platform and customer service sucks as well. Since I have been with them forever, its time for a change away from both TD and IBKR and consolidate into one broker until I reach the 1M mark. Long...Ignored
