Commodity Prop firm ?

[Nikk]

Hi I'm new on this board

I'm italian and I swing trade energy mkts.
I'm looking for a prop firm who trade commodities. I had many contacts with US trading firms but no one is involved in commodity trading.

Thanks in advance

If you are looking for a brokerage firm, try www.rjobrien.com or www.tradestation.com which provides access to rjobrien's MCD platform wiuth a discounted service, good luck

Thanks bgold, but are you sure that those firms provide "prop" trading?

I mean use my own money and trade physically from their offices (desk and other tools)

no, they don't. They provide brokerage services. I guess it all depends where you want to be located? NY, London, Rome? Or some tax haven?

Looking for USA, but even London could be good.

Thanks

Nikk,

If you go to any decent (ahem) prop firm and put up you own capital they will facilitate trade in any market e.g. CME, NYMEX, LIFFE. etc.

The benifits are that you will have much cheaper transaction costs and faster communication speeds and also be with other traders. Theres loads in London and a few in america i should imagine.

Thanks
