AMP Futures stands out as a US-based broker specializing in futures and options, offering ultra-low commissions, deep platform choice, and rapid execution—all under robust NFA and CFTC regulation.
The broker's highly competitive pricing (as low as $0.37 per contract side), no inactivity fees, and $100 minimum deposit make it attractive to active traders and those seeking cost-efficiency.
Although asset coverage is focused exclusively on futures (no crypto, stocks, or CFDs for Canadian users), AMP provides access to a vast product universe across indices, commodities, currencies, and interest rates.
Established in 2010 and trusted by thousands globally, AMP Futures enjoys a 4.3/5 Trustpilot score based on 784 reviews—demonstrating strong reliability, transparent cost structure, and a commitment to trader support.
Relative to competitors like Interactive Brokers or NinjaTrader, AMP Futures is especially well-positioned for futures-focused traders who demand both low fees and platform flexibility, but it is not suitable for those seeking equities or crypto trading.
In my experience, this broker is best suited to the following trader profiles:

➡️ Active or advanced traders seeking competitive commissions, DMA execution, and access to sophisticated trading platforms will benefit most, given the broker’s range of professional-grade tools and order types suitable for futures markets.
➡️ Intermediate traders ready to move beyond basic instruments or platforms, who value multiple software options and want transparent, low-cost access to regulated US futures exchanges, will find AMP a strong fit.
➡️ Serious beginners—especially those with some financial market experience—looking for a low-cost start in futures trading, demo account access, and responsive support, will appreciate AMP’s educational resources and low minimum deposit, though absolute beginners may find the learning curve steep.

Why trust Hellosafe?

I personally tested AMP Futures by opening an account, funding it, and trading both demo and live to see how the platform really performs for Canadian users. I paid close attention to AMP Futures’ fees, platform choices, available tools, customer support, and the overall trading environment. Everything I share here is based on my real experience—not marketing claims or sales pitches.

What stood out to me is the professional-grade access AMP Futures offers for active futures traders, especially its wide range of supported platforms and competitive commissions. However, I also noted its drawbacks: there’s no stock, spot forex, or crypto trading, and new traders may find the large selection of trading software overwhelming. Service was reliable, and support was responsive to my questions, but international wire fees are a cost to be aware of for Canadians.

By comparing AMP Futures to other regulated brokers I’ve used, I found it to be well-suited for experienced futures traders who value choice and low commissions, though it may not be ideal for absolute beginners or those seeking a broader mix of instruments. This perspective is grounded entirely in hands-on, unbiased usage, so you can trust my insights are intended to help you make an informed decision.

Security & Regulation

AMP Futures is a strong choice for futures traders who want security and transparency from a well-established U.S. broker. The firm operates under the strict supervision of the NFA and CFTC, ensuring a framework that prioritizes client protection. Client funds are strictly segregated in accordance with regulatory standards, which means they are kept separate from company capital—an essential safeguard for peace of mind.

AMP Futures offers extensive risk-management tools through advanced order types, including stop loss and bracket orders on most platforms. While two-factor authentication is available on several platforms, negative balance protection is not guaranteed, as is typical in the U.S. futures market. The broker enjoys a solid reputation, reflected in positive user feedback and a strong Trustpilot score. Its credibility is further supported by decades of operation, a transparent fee structure, and commitment to customer support.

Fees, Spreads & Commissions

AMP Futures positions itself as one of the most cost-effective brokers for futures traders, particularly for those who are active or trade in higher volumes. The headline commission rate—starting as low as $0.37 per side per contract—is among the lowest globally. What I find especially attractive is the transparency: all major platform, clearing, and exchange fees are disclosed up front, leaving little room for hidden charges that can eat into net returns.

For account-related costs, AMP Futures stands out by eliminating common fees like account opening, maintenance, or inactivity charges. However, international wire withdrawals come with a standard $30 fee, so choosing deposit and withdrawal methods carefully can minimize banking overhead. Currency conversion is only a concern for non-USD account activity, as AMP itself applies no extra markup, making it well-suited for those funding directly in USD.

On the trading side, spreads are effectively market-driven, as is the nature of exchange-traded futures. This means the typical “broker spread” does not apply; instead, your costs are purely the sum of exchange liquidity and the broker’s commission. With over 50 supported trading platforms and broad product coverage (from commodities to indices and currencies—all as futures), there is real flexibility to optimize costs depending on the tools and accounts you prefer.

AMP Futures does not cater to stock, ETF, CFD, or cryptocurrency traders. If you are searching for access to those asset classes, you’ll find AMP limiting—its expertise and fee structure are laser-focused solely on futures and futures options. As such, there are no swap, overnight, or custody fees (as you might see with derivatives or spot trading at multiproduct brokers)—another cost advantage for those who align with AMP’s niche offering.

Consolidate withdrawals to reduce total wire fees and fund in USD wherever possible to eliminate conversion costs.

Carefully select your platform—some third-party choices may charge platform licensing or data feed fees not included in AMP’s base costs.

AMP Futures does not offer direct stock or ETF trading for Canadian users. All trading is in regulated futures contracts, not equities or ETF products.

Assets & Markets

AMP Futures is firmly positioned as a specialist in futures and options on futures, making it a compelling choice for traders who seek deep access to global derivatives markets. The platform’s breadth covers a wide range of futures contracts, including indices like the S&P 500 E-mini, metals (gold, silver), energies (crude oil, natural gas), and agricultural products. Options on many of these futures further extend strategic flexibility for those managing risk or deploying advanced trading strategies.

One of the clear strengths is the extensive platform support: over 50 trading platforms are available, from Sierra Chart and CQG to TradingView and MetaTrader 5, allowing for broad customization, advanced charting, algorithmic trading, and mobile access. The commission structure is very competitive, with some of the lowest commission rates in the industry, and all pricing is transparent—no hidden spread mark-ups, as futures contracts trade on regulated exchanges.

However, AMP Futures does not offer direct trading in stocks, ETFs, spot forex, or cryptocurrencies. Clients cannot access CFDs, staking, or earn products either. This means that investors seeking a multi-asset brokerage, access to spot markets, or crypto exposure will find AMP Futures limited to exchange-traded derivatives.

Bond markets and interest rate futures are available, which is a plus for traders with sophisticated portfolio needs, but there is no access to physical bonds or stablecoins, nor support for new asset types like NFTs. Ultimately, AMP Futures suits dedicated futures traders and professionals who value low costs, choice of platforms, and regulated market access.

Trading Tools & Apps

AMP Futures stands out for its vast platform ecosystem, giving traders access to over 50 trading platforms—far beyond what most futures brokers provide.
Choices range from MetaTrader 5 and TradingView to CQG, Sierra Chart, MultiCharts, Bookmap, and more.
This flexibility allows me to select an interface that precisely fits my trading style, whether I prioritize advanced charting, order flow analysis, or streamlined execution.

The availability of both web and mobile trading across key platforms is a significant advantage.
For instance, MetaTrader 5 and TradingView offer fluid user experiences and powerful technical analysis tools on both desktop and mobile devices.
CQG and Sierra Chart, while more technical, appeal to professionals who demand full customization, depth of market, and robust automation.
There is no proprietary AMP Futures mobile app, but compatibility with industry-leading software fills this gap for most users.

Order functionality is exceptional, with support for market, limit, stop, trailing stop, OCO, and bracket orders—crucial for managing risk in highly leveraged futures trading.
Charting capabilities are particularly strong when using platforms like TradingView, MetaTrader 5, or Sierra Chart, which deliver a rich suite of built-in indicators, drawing tools, and multi-timeframe analysis for both discretionary and algorithmic traders.

The automation environment is a clear strength.
MetaTrader 5 supports Expert Advisors, while Sierra Chart, MultiCharts, and others enable custom algorithmic strategies, scripting, and integration with APIs.
Copy trading is not directly available, but advanced users can connect external bots or build bespoke automated systems—ideal for self-directed and systematic traders.

Beginners might find the technical depth of some platforms overwhelming, but the demo environment and 24/7 customer support help bridge this gap.
Spot stocks, ETFs, crypto trading, staking, and earn features are not available: AMP Futures is focused on exchange-traded futures and options—with no CFDs or spot asset trading.

Tip

Test several platforms in AMP Futures’ demo mode—especially TradingView and MetaTrader 5—to discover which best matches your workflow.

Use bracket and OCO orders as part of your risk management, particularly when trading highly leveraged products or volatile futures markets.

Account Opening and Deposits

Account opening

To open an account with AMP Futures, start by registering on their official website and completing the online application form. You will be asked to provide details about your identity, tax status (such as your SIN if you are a Canadian resident), and trading experience through a regulatory questionnaire. Next, upload the required KYC documents: a government-issued photo ID, proof of address (such as a utility bill or bank statement), and a tax identification number. The compliance team reviews the submission, which typically takes 1–2 business days, though this may vary depending on the volume of applications or the completeness of your documents. Once approved, you receive a confirmation email, and you can proceed to fund your account and start trading.

Review your KYC documents before submission

Carefully review your KYC documents before submitting them: clear images and accurate details help reduce processing delays—especially during busy periods or if you are opening a corporate account.

Deposits at AMP Futures are primarily made via international bank wire transfer; cards, e-wallets, and crypto deposits are not currently supported for Canadian users. The accepted deposit currency is USD; your bank may convert funds if sent in CAD, but this could result in conversion fees. Deposits are usually credited within 1–3 business days, depending on your bank’s processing times. AMP Futures does not charge fees for incoming deposits, but sending banks often charge for international wires. Withdrawals are processed through bank wire transfers, generally taking 1–3 business days after the request is made. AMP Futures charges a $30 USD fee per international wire withdrawal, and there may be additional fees imposed by your receiving bank. There is no integrated wallet or fiat-to-crypto conversion service—AMP Futures is a futures-only broker.

Important Considerations for Wire Transfers

Always confirm the beneficiary account details before sending a wire and check with your bank for outgoing wire fees or conversion costs. Factor in the $30 USD withdrawal fee when planning your transfers, especially for smaller amounts.

For Canadian users, the accounts focus strictly on futures contracts—there are no standard CFD, Raw ECN, or crypto-specific products. A fully featured demo account is available, and users benefit from access to multiple third-party professional trading platforms. Specialized accounts like Islamic (swap-free), staking/earn, and cold storage are not part of the AMP Futures product line as of now.
