AMP commissions lower than CME commissions?

    Hello, these are the AMP commissions considering all the costs (so, CME fees included), you can found there here: https://portal.ampclearing.com/acco...3e81110b|38b864c8-d500-456d-97de-2cf2145c836b

    If you select the volume tiered commissions, here is what you get:

    As you can see, if you trade more than 10000 contracts a month, you end up paying only 0.2 per side for a EURUSD micro contract. The thing is, you pay 0.24 per side to CME as a non member for a EURUSD micro contract, so how is that possible?

    Apples to Oranges comparison.

    Probably just a mistake or stale number that hasn't been updated. I doubt anyone trades that many micros because you would switch to mini or full size contracts before then.

    What is IOW Non-Volume Discount?
    Well, those are the generic commissions so I assume they are for non-members. So a non-member who opens 10000 contracts a month pays only 20 cents per contract, since they are inclusive of the exchange fees.
    10000 contracts usually refer to the full-size futures, and a micro usually only counts for 1/10 of a contract. But you're probably right, those numbers are wrong since I found this other webpage
    https://www.ampfutures.com/commissions . Here the lowest you can get is 36 cents per size for a micro contract, which is coherent with the exchange fees.

    The only way you people are going to figure this out is to actually TRADE REAL MONIES in the markets you choose, instead of bloviating about theories.

    You people make me sick.

    All of you. ALL of you are fucking wimps who are afraid to trade real money, and go afraid to go live on live on THEORY???

    Motherfuckers, get out there and TRADE, so you have REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE, and trade not on THEORY! FFS!

    I did it with IBKR, but I wanted to know about AMP as I don't want to open an account with 10000s of brokers.

    AMP is awesome. It is no-frills, no bullshit, you get what you get, that is it.

    I am a loud-and-proud AMP customer 10-years and counting.

    When you call their support line, yes, you get some not-so-swifts, but you get that with any company.

    *shrugs* Par for the course. AMP is the broker I would suggest for anyone doing simple futures trades. They also do options stuff, but I do not trade options, so do not know how that support is.
