How to select a commodities broker depends on several factors such as your experience, whether you plan to trade online or by phone, and what kind of help you need in your trading. Do you need help in finding trades, or are you going to select your trades by yourself. Do you need research or trading entry advice, do you plan to place orders that are set at a price, or are you going to do all trading at market, except stop loss price points.

3. Full Service or Discount Broker

Selecting a commodities broker who is full service, or one that depends on the customer to make all the decisions, will determine the type of broker you should seek out. A full service broker for futures trading will cost more per trade than one in which you do the trading without any help. Online trading is cheaper than manual trading by phone. Using an Internet futures broker is best suited for computer trading, as they will supply the entry software for making the trades. Many will also offset the real time quote charges needed to do this type of Internet futures trading. The amount of the offset will depend on your trading volume and commission rate. One thing to remember is that all these prices are negotiable and are not set in stone.

4. Other Broker Incentives

The software needed to do charting and keeping track of trends is offered by some brokers as an incentive to trade through them. The Internet is an easy way to find out what is offered by the many commodity-trading firms. There are many firms to choose from and the plans they offer. This choice depends on your knowledge and trading experience. Do not be shy about letting a broker know if you are new to trading or have been doing it for years. Futures trading is difficult to do successfully by inexperienced traders. Newcomers would be well advised to use an experienced broker to guide the trading and keep the positions at a level consistent with the risk the trader can afford. Stock trading is entirely different from futures trading, as the leverage is significantly higher in commodity trading. A good broker is worth their knowledge to a newly minted trader. A broker with years of experience will try to keep their customers from making costly mistakes. These trades will be commissioned higher than those you make yourself without advice. The broker’s time must be compensated for, and his hard earned experience is invaluable to a new trader. Keeping losses at a manageable level will more than offset the higher commissions.
