Brokerage Firms
Floyd believes selecting the right brokerage firm is a crucial element to your success.  Each brokerage firm is unique. Some firms are tailored to fast execution with minimum commission costs while others focus on helping new traders with placing orders and managing trades.  In addition, some brokerage firms focus on helping those outside the U.S. whom often face additional challenges regarding trading hours, and communications.

Below is a list of brokerage firms that provide an array of services, meeting the needs of the beginner trader right up through the professional.


 

For the established professional trader Floyd recommends Man Financial.  Based in the U.K. Man is one of the largest clearing firms in the world, clearing for many top U.S. FCM's.


Man Financial is one of the world’s leading providers of brokerage services in futures and options to both institutional and private clients, offering advice, execution and clearing services.

NO TRADING SYSTEM CAN GUARANTEE PROFITS

No guarantees can be made for success. Past performance is not a guarantee of future profits.
Futures trading is NOT our only means of income. We also invest in stocks, real estate as well as
generate income from other businesses. We have both winning trades and losing trades. We trade professionally, but not daily. We wait for what we believe to be ideal trading opportunities.
