Are there any profitable traders out there who use AMP and regularly withdraw funds? Could you please comment on your experiences with them, if withdrawals are paid and paid promptly, or if you have encountered any problems?

I have the experience of withdrawing funds from my ِAMP account to local bank in Saudi without any issue.

I have a buy limit order at ASK. After AMP received the order and cleared it, it held the order for 241 ms before it sent the order to CQG. From step 3 to 4, it took 241 ms.
See line 4 of the image.

Is it AMP's fault or CQG? After I sent the order, there is nothing else I could do, but wait.

Why would they hold my BUY limit order (at ASKing price)? That is basically a market limit order.
Btw, I have more of these trades. I am just showing one example here.

I have a colocated server in Chicago with <1ms ping with AMP Futures Metatrader server.

I also used the command OrderSendAsync to send the order.

Here is what the help file says about OrderSendAsync.


Quoting 
The OrderSendAsync() function is used for conducting asynchronous trade operations without waiting for the trade server's response to a sent request. The function is designed for high-frequency trading, when under the terms of the trading algorithm it is unacceptable to waste time waiting for a response from the server.


Just so you know, I am just doing scalping and not HFT. Metatrader is not the right platform for HFT. After hearing from Andriy (andrico), I started looking into R|API in order to speed things up. Metatrader may not be good for scalping. If only there is another broker with a better implementation of metatrader, I do not have to give up my metatrader programs.





Thanks,
Kiks
