“TradingView is a great place to start futures trading with AMP. It's easy to get up and running and it looks beautiful. Depending on your account size or trading style it may be all you ever need. I used TradingView for 3 years, but eventually I found it was not serving my needs. When there is a lot of trading activity TradingView becomes slow with substantial lag and there are very obvious delays between fills and chart movement. On bigger lot sizes (10+ contracts) I also noticed fill anomalies and TradingView would take a while to work out what was going on and "freeze" for a few seconds. TradingView also does not always calculate margins correctly and will not allow you to exit a position when certain other open orders exist, which can cause added losses in certain circumstances. TradingView only works with CQG so if you wish to use a different order routing service you can't. Overall, TradingView was acceptable to me for 3 years and is probably fine for beginners or for a quick start to try out futures trading, but if you're serious about your trading you would be better off with a more powerful platform like Sierra Chart.”
“I love how easy it is to place orders. CQG feels more confusing to me. I don’t trade intraday, so TradingView works well for my needs.
Bug:
When I’m logged in to my AMP account, there seems to be an issue with tradingviews alert placement — sometimes it doesn’t function properly and i cant set new alerts.
Suggestions:
1. It would be great to have more advanced order types available.
2. A tab showing historical executed orders and their P&L would be appreciated.
3. It would be helpful if users could change their CQG username.
4. The login process is a bit tedious since one has to copy and paste both the username and password every few days to login again. It would be nice if these could be saved securely.
5. Two-factor authentication (2FA) integration would be appreciated — ideally required only once when logging in from a new device, preferably using a security key. It would also be helpful to allow users to choose between Google Authenticator and a hardware security key.
Other brokers already have 2FA integration, but they often require re-authentication every few days, which can be cumbersome. In my opinion, verifying once per new device is sufficient.
Thank you for considering my input”
“TradingView is by far the best and most comprehensive tool for trading out there. Extremely user friendly and has lots of customizations and advanced tools. Could not be any easier to use and navigate through. Integrates seamlessly with multiple vetted brokers to use for placing trades. Also excellent pricing and customer service. I cannot think of anything that needs to be improved. Thank you!!!”
