I'm looking to open an account at a new broker and am looking for ratings based on financial strength. I went to Weissratings.com but they don't list most brokers. How do you research a broker's financial security? Or does everyone here only care about commissions and software platform?
For futures and commodity brokers I use the CFTC. Not only to look up brokers I'm looking at but to keep track of whom I'm with. http://www.cftc.gov/tm/tmfcm.htm?from=home&page=mktfcmcontent
