Is there any update on when AMP may support SC direct routing?

We have no idea. Consider using a different broker.

My Advantage account with SC/Teton order routing is up and running and I've completed several trades. Everything seems to be working well. The people at Advantage have been very good to work with. However, from an account management TECHNOLOGY perspective, new Advantage users may want to know the account signup and account management processes are rather manual (downloading PDFs, signing manually, scanning and emailing signed PDF files and statements are distributed nightly to an FTP server) This resulted in many back and forth and lost emails, a few errors on my part and extra days getting things all set up. Funding was fast without any issues. On another topic, the SC web trade account access is working well, showing everything in real time and provides a way to get to your trades if something happens. Actually, this week, I had an internet outage, my backup internet would not kick in and I had to get to trades to close out using a portable hotspot for internet. It's the first time ever this has happened but SC web trade account worked great from the hotspot. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-01-16 19:56:45

Has anyone been able to get commissions at Advantage competitive to Amp and decent intraday margins?

We recommend checking with Stage 5 who is an introducing broker for Advantage.

I'm very happy with Advantage/Teton pricing so far but looking into better pricing. Advantage is $1 per side for mini's. .40 per side for Micros. Support and response to emails excellent. These are standard, non-promoted prices. Per Micro round trip from today's trading:(MES: Buy 1, Sell 1) Commission: .80 Clearing Fee: .10 Exchange fee: .40 NFA Fee: .04 Total: $1.34 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-01-21 20:47:54

Got quotes from Stage 5 on their promotion and they are even better. All-in rates on MES: $0.20/contract commission + $0.25/contract exchange fee + $0.02/contract NFA fee = $0.47/contract or $0.94/round turn all-in.

What about the day trading margins?

Here is what I received from Stage 5 regarding margins today. Much better than what I am getting directly with Advantage so I am looking into it too. "Intraday margins are typically 20% of exchange initial margin with the exception of US index futures which are only 5%. ES, as an example is currently $12,650/contract initial margin which makes intraday $633/contract. For MES it would be $63/contract but we do have a $200 minimum account balance that must be maintained." Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-01-21 21:13:41

I have successfully moved my account to Stage 5/Advantage and am very happy. As an introducing broker, Stage 5 arranged very competitive margins and commissions so I realigned my account from Advantage only to Stage 5/Advantage. I did not know the improved margins and commissions when I opened my account directly with Advantage so it took some additional time moving funds. The Stage 5 contract is nearly identical to the Advantage contract except that Stage 5 has made the process completely electronic (including signatures) and much more streamlined. I am very happy with Dave Hacke at Advantage and AJ Wusterfeld at Stage 5. They were both very responsive and helpful guiding me through the steps. Teton order routing performance is great... has been keeping up with the fast moves lately and commissions and margins are very competitive! Next is to move my other ADMIS account to an FCM and broker that supports Teton. Please keep up the great work! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-02-07 03:25:20

Support, if I have 2 accounts with the same FCM (Advantage) through broker Stage 5 (one margin, the other an IRA), will this cause any issues with Denali/Teton?

Just my two cents but Morad Askar (FT71), the guy who runs Stage 5, is probably one of the best guys you'll come across in this business. True trader. Economics of the business aside, he's genuinely interested in clients doing well.

No, this has no relevancy: will this cause any issues with Denali/Teton?

Morad Askar is the founder of EDGE CLEAR a new futures brokerage firm He was joined with Stage 5 years ago, but after disagreements with Anthony Giacomin he left Stage 5 |

Anthony is a good guy too (just a broker though). I remember when he was hired. If Morad is not there anymore, it's unlikely there are any traders involved in management. I noticed their site doesn't even list who is involved there. If Morad is solely focusing on EdgeClear now, I would consider that option first. Again, just my two cents.

@cmet, This is FuturesTrader71 (Morad Askar). I have no affiliation with Stage 5 Trading and haven't for some time. The entire team I worked with when I was there has left. I'm the founder and sole owner of Edge Clear https://edgeclear.com/sierrachart. The brokers who were at Stage 5 Trading joined me Edge Clear in September 2019 and are the key component of launching Edge Clear to its current success. Edge Clear was actually created for the team by the team. Please reach out to me at https://edgeclear.com/contact-us and indicate that you wish to connect with me directly. I'm happy to personally answer any questions. Edge Clear is the new standard in a trader-inspired brokerage firm. They offer Sierra Chart along with all of its features including Teton order routing. Edge Clear's personally assigned brokers are also traders who understand what it is like dealing with the market day in and day out. They trade futures, options, and crypto. They aren't simply salesmen. I take great pride in this. Every one of Edge Clear's personnel goes through trading education. You will find Edge Clear's team responsive, innovative, and knowledgeable. The team is led by Max Timmins who is an outstanding director and leader. I'm very proud of every team member and every trader who becomes a member of Edge Clear. As part of your due diligence, I highly recommend that you first speak with multiple brokerages prior to completing account documents. Cheap is never best nor the only criteria a trader must consider. Market losses will likely far outweigh fees. Please call Edge Clear with questions at 773-832-8320 / 1-844-872-3320. I look forward to having you join the team at Edge Clear or for them to have the opportunity to point you in the right direction.
