efutures is a firm that offers self-directed futures trading via the Internet and telephone, as well as hedge brokerage. 
 
== History ==
The evolution of efutures began in 1989 when John Streich founded the full service hedge brokerage First Capitol Ag, located in Belmont, Wisconsin. After relocating to larger office space to accommodate growth, efutures, a discount brokerage service, was launched. The discount brokerage division began providing retail clients with commercial access to the futures markets. With the advent of reliable internet order entry systems, efutures evolved into one of the industry’s first online brokerages. By 1999 the businesses had surpassed 4,000 accounts with clients in every state across America and scattered around the world. In 2014, Wedbush Securities Inc. announced their agreement to acquire the efutures and First Capitol Ag futures business.
