Futures and futures options trading volume, while cyclical, has demonstrated a steady growth pattern over the past two decades. You can trade virtually any market listed on a regulated futures Exchange. For the sophisticated futures trader, nothing is more important than top-quality trade executions.
Floor brokers do vary in terms of speed, accuracy and quality of the price fills to the customer.
Slippage is the difference between the price at which a trader wants to buy and sell, and his ultimate fill price. Slippage is a cost of doing business and can, at times, amount to many times the cost of the commissions. Slippage can be minimized. Through our affiliation with a major institutional clearing firm, we are proud of the quality of fills our floor brokers provide. We use many of the same floor brokers used by major institutions such as large hedge funds and major banks.
