Pat --
Tell me about BestDirect....
have you started using them yet?
what made you consider them ?
I gather that you've taken Leo from the table.
What were the main reasons for your consideration of electronic trading ?
Are you still using E D F Man ?
To the thread ----
I'm shopping for a (one/two/several) commodity/futures broker.
I've gone to some of my buddies trading offices and observered them using LeoWeb, PMBe, TOPS, Cubs, phone usage, etc .....
I still feel more comfortable using the phone with com/fut, but it took me fewer than five trades with equities a number of years ago to be a firm convert to electronic trading for stocks and options.
I have talked with Reifler, CFOS, Farr, and now BestDirect.
I just got off the phone with Bessert (BestDirect).
Very professionally done demo ...had a good conversation with a knowledgeable and personable gentleman ... made a good impression with me in all respects.
CFOS and Reifler are LeoWeb introducing brokers, Farr uses PMBe, and Bessert uses software, not browser based trading.
I would welcome, as I feel sure all the posters and lurkers here would as well, any comments ANYONE has regarding their commodity/futures broker.
Currently, I know that Pat has been using Man and Scott has been using Zap. I remember GZ was happy with his phone broker, as well as TT with his. How about the rest of ya ?
