Futures Broker Busting My Balls because I'm self-employed?

Discussion in 'Retail Brokers' started by brickhouse9, Oct 8, 2024.

  1. Giving me the 22 questions when I'm trying to open an account. Not sure if the self-employed or the high net worth triggered it.

    I feel like a $35k/yr dude would get approved already?

    Your domicile.
     
  3. "US person" unfortunately. The fucking greatest and freeest country in the world - supposedly.

    Ahh, read Macau on your profile and assumed otherwise. Poker player?
     
  5. Nope, just put a random location. I'm US-based.

    I applied to open an account at many other futures brokers and they had all these questions. I feel your pain.

    When I applied to open an account at Plus500 futures, it was so fast and streamlined. Join me over there.

    Margins among the lowest: $500 for YM and ES, $1000 for NQ. Only downside is they have their own proprietary charting platform which is really bad so you will have to do your charting elsewhere. You can demo their platform for free first.

    If you want to learn complex, very-difficult-to-understand English,
    IB is a good place to learn.
    Forms are difficult to fill in.

  8. I use Schwab and the process was a breeze... But the fees are insane so I'm looking to some of these sites with $.25 commissions for micros

    What broker?

    I opened an account with Ninjatrader some time ago and it was the easiest process ever.
     
  10. I considered Plus500 but I just can't do business with a broker without phone support. Fuck that. too much is at stake.
