Account Types

We accept futures trading account types including individual, joint, trusts, IRA accounts, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, sole proprietorships, and POA.

Individual & Joint

In an individual account there is only one beneficial owner — the only person who can control investments and request distributions. Account holders requiring more than one owner need to apply for a joint account.

Power of Attorney (POA)

A POA account allows a designated individual to trade on behalf of the account owner. The account owner retains full ownership while granting trading authority to a trusted person. A completed POA agreement and supporting documentation must be submitted to establish this account type.

Trust

Trust accounts are opened under the legal name and date of the trust. "Revocable" Trusts use a Social Security Number. "Irrevocable" Trusts require a Fed ID number. A copy of the trust agreement must be submitted.

IRA & Roth IRA

An IRA allows tax-deferred investment growth. Retirement accounts can be opened with IRA Custodian Inspira Financial or EquityTrust. Roth IRA accounts are also available.

Corporate / LLC

Corporate accounts or LLCs are opened under the legal corporate name with a short description of the nature of the business. The Articles of Incorporation must be submitted.

Sole Proprietorship

A sole proprietorship is a business owned by one individual, such as "John Smith dba ABC Company." There is no separate entity — simply an individual owning 100% of a business.

General Partnership

Partnership accounts are registered in the name of the partnership. Principal partner information and a copy of the partnership agreement are required. A Fed ID Number is required.

Hedge

For farmers or businesses needing to hedge their product. Commodity price risk can be removed by hedging in the futures market. Long hedges lock in future purchase prices; short hedges lock in selling prices.

Foreign

We accept accounts from most foreign countries. Additional documentation may be required. Please contact us to discuss your specific country and requirements.

Exchange Membership

Exchange members may be eligible for reduced commission rates. Learn more about exchange membership and how it may benefit your trading.
