“One of the best trading platform, suited for beginners and advanced traders. the quality of video introduction to the trading platform is of very high standard.”
“Die freie Programmierfähigkeit in MQL5 gefällt mir gut. Auch die Android Version ist gut. Mehr Indikatoren ohne expl. Download würden mich freuen. Es sollte aber auch nicht zu komplex und kompliziert sein / werden.”
“I've been trading with AMP Futures for a while, and one standout feature that sets them apart is their support for trading futures through MetaTrader 5 (MT5). As far as I know, AMP is the only broker offering futures over MT5, which has been a game-changer for me, especially coming from a Forex trading background.
What I find most impressive about MT5 is its Strategy Tester with real tick data. The platform supports multithreading, allowing me to fully utilize my Intel i9 with 32 cores to optimize my trading algorithms (Expert Advisors). This is crucial in day trading, where backtesting with high accuracy is a must. MT5 offers advanced functions like CopyTicks, which lets me differentiate between aggressive buy and sell orders, enabling me to calculate buy volume versus sell volume precisely. This level of granularity is incredibly useful when fine-tuning strategies, particularly when trading on futures markets.
Once my Expert Advisor is optimized, I can seamlessly switch to live trading within the platform. Another significant advantage is the ability to use other remote machines to accelerate Strategy Tester results, which speeds up the process of refining strategies even further.
AMP Futures shines here because they’ve integrated MT5 in such a way that you can trade futures micro contracts directly on the platform. These micro contracts offer significant advantages over other instruments like Forex or small-cap stocks, particularly for traders looking for more manageable leverage and lower margin requirements. The required margin for day trading a micro contract is only $30, which is the best I’ve ever seen. This makes it much easier to trade with less capital while still having access to futures markets.
Overall, MT5 paired with AMP Futures is a powerful combination for anyone looking to day trade futures. It's fast, flexible, and packed with the features needed for serious algorithmic traders. If you're coming from a Forex background like me, I highly recommend giving it a try.”
