OUR CUSTOMERS LOVE OUR SERVICES

“Great Staff! Great experience! A++++++ Hands down a great company across the
board. For traders at all levels! Very responsive!”

Anthony M.

“My broker, who is a senior member of the team, and is often in the media giving
interviews about commodity markets, takes the time to give me the same type of
information I believe he would give to someone with 20 times my account value.
He also does not shunt me off to his assistant, but takes the time himself to
provide detailed analysis of the market we are trading in. He and his assistant
care about their clients and routinely call or email with trade recommendations
and advice. Great value for the money so far.”

Robert S.

“Great customer support, quick and easy fix to any problem.”

Edward G.

“The customer support and trading platforms are superior.”

Richard

“A refreshing change from the typical broker, and I was greatly surprised by
that. Instead of waiting and waiting to music on the phone, a person picks up
the phone and talks to you. Instead of no education, some real and valuable
education in the videos. The support, service, and communication are amazing.”

Kevin W.

“[My Broker] at Daniel's Trading is amazing! As a small account holder, he gave
me the level of attention that, in my opinion, is most commonly given to people
with seven figure accounts. He was very patient with my efforts and responded to
my question in an extremely timely manner. I cannot recommend this firm enough!”
