    Last week I initiated a new AMP account and began with a wire from Mirus to AMP. Today I checked and Mirus is experiencing technical difficulties but assured me the wire would go thru today.

    mass exodus?

  4. Yeah I reckon there is at least a small exodus if not a mass one!

    Will be submitting my own transfer form today so I hope they initiate it quickly.

    Does anyone know of a good broker that uses Rosenthal Collins Group for clearing, has the Ninja platform, and either Rithmic or TT data feed? Thanks.

    I would imagine the mass exodus is on. I just got this from AMP today. May be I'm reading too much into it.

    <b>No Fees charged by AMP for incoming transfers.</b>

    If any fees, they would be charged by the departing firm. In our opinion, they should perform the transfer ASAP and as an "industry courtesy" not charge any transfer fees.

    After submitting your application or if you are an existing AMP Customers, fill out this account transfer form and we will handle the funds transfer for you: http://www.ampclearing.com/pdf/Account Transfer.pdf

    Please call our 24 hour help desk if you need assistance or have any questions: 312 893 6400 ext. 1 or email: trading@ampclearing.com

  8. I'm thinking Zenfire probably wish they'd stayed with Rithmic after this fiasco.

    Here's the latest email from Mirus. It's such a shambles it's starting to become quite humorous, unless you are still using Zenfire in which case you're probably not laughing :)

    Nice to see they are "exploring multiple solutions" though isn't it a little late for that?! Also I thought the new Zenfire was the ultimate in "upgraded" solutions in the first place? Even Mirus seem to have lost confidence in it...

    Dear Traders,

    The stability of your trading solution remains our number one priority. Following the ZenFire service interruptions experienced over the past week, we want to ensure you have additional options to trade your account.

    We are currently exploring multiple solutions for our traders and expect to have an update on an alternative connection within 24 to 48 hours.

    In addition, you can transition your current Mirus account to an interim trading solution based on your FCM.

    To start your transition, please contact your broker here at Mirus or Mirus Support at 312.262.1288 to discuss the connectivity options currently available.

    Thank you again for your continued patience.

    The new Zenfire was supposed to become the new BigTick? https://www.mirusfutures.com/emails/Mirus_News_October_2013.htm

    Latest News: Dorman is now working on offering data through CQG Continuum or Rithmic (confirmation pending).

  10. The matter of fact in these cases, is the 'new Zenfire' is in developing mode (stating that in kind words) and the Customers are paying the price. But Mirus, too...
