A colleague of mine asked me and since I am pretty much have been only on a self directed model although with some quality introducing brokers, i do not know how to answer. I asked him what he wants and he mentioned commodity (mainly agriculture futures, spreads and options) and this is not really anything much i did research into. Also he would like a large FCM to back the full service broker like RJ O brien or Advantage or ADM etc. He is looking for trade ideas and someone he can speak to on a regular basis. He know how to place trades and I think also how to adjust or close trades but wants to focus right now on someone helping him... I know most here are self directed traders but maybe some might have accounts with good full service brokers and i could pass on that recommendation - thanks
Joe Kooima Kooima and kaemig (not sure if that is correct spelling) Is knowledgeable broker. Not cheap but any full service ag broker is going to cost $20+ round turn probably starting out anyway unless they trade size. Several great ag brokers on Twitter as well @aghedgingone is a good guy as well. Steer clear of the house RJO guys et al or most the brokers that post on barchart. My kids are just as good at picking market direction
Based on the account details, maybe I can introduce him to ADMIS. However, they will provide research but no trading advice.
There are some Commodity Trading Advisors (CTA) that specialize in ag products. I can present your friend with a few products if he gains contact with us.
