AMP sales team is approx. 30 brokers - all Ninjatrader Specialist AMP 24 hour help desk is fully staffed - 15 agents during US trading hours and 4 agents during non-US trading hours. AMP 24 hour Trade Desk is fully staffed - 4 agents during US trading hours and 2 agents during non-US trading hours. These numbers do not include the AMP clearing operations staff nor the 24 hour systems execution desk. AMP has built itself on the principle: "If I was a client, What would I want my broker to be". We invest heavily in hiring and training brokers & support staff to meet client expectations of market knowledge and technical expertise. All Brokers, Support Desk & Trade Desk have trading floor experience. They were either market makers, filling clerks, floor brokers, floor managers and/or full time traders. With this background and foundation of trading, AMP then trains them in the technical & client support services in order to complete the customers experience. We are working dilegently to expand our operations and offer our clients the best service and trading technology at the cheapest pricing. We have been running this campaign for the past few weeks "We will MATCH or BEAT any Written Commission Quote!" I welcome you to take advantage of the Ninjatrader/CQG solution.

I've been using CQG through AMP for just under a year with no problems either. I demo'd both for awhile and didn't see any noticeable difference. FYI - I'm not automated and I do not trade full time either. Part time discretionary only.
I have only used Zenfire and have never had any issues of any kind. Reliable feed and seems to keep up better than other during peak times and announcements.
If going to amp you get cqg. If going to mirus (perhaps others) you get zen. The datafeed provided is implicit in the broker. But there are other considerations also.
AMP/CQG also has ADV, DECL, UVOL, DVOL (not available on ZenFire and costs $5/m). ADV = NY advance issue, DECL = NY decline issue, up volume, down volume. see pic for a example of how to use it, be creative.
