"Why I Chose DT" Responses from Craig's Clients:
"… A Daniels Trading broker [Craig Turner] contacted me in response to my request for information, and we had numerous conversations. I found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful. … [Craig] refrains from high pressure tactics; it's a good fit, and I enjoy our conversations. …"
"Craig Turner gives me every trading tool that I ask for, gives me superb service for very low commissions, helps me put in stops & keeps me away from danger. He guides me to methodologies that work. I like the dtPro platform. "
"... I called & talked to Craig Turner & he told me that he would help walk me through option trades by helping me know when to get in & when to get out. I am new & need someone to hold my hand for a while."
"I like Craig Turner. He's got an upfront style and he gives information in a straightforward, unvarnished way. "
"I chose Daniels Trading because Craig Turner helps me very much and [answered] all my questions very kindly and professionally. When I opened the account, everything was exactly how he told me. Reliable and helpful. ..."
"I have been the recipient of outstanding service from Craig Turner. His willingness to respond to my needs is a testimony to what it means to be classified as outstanding, both personally and professionally. As opportunities present themselves, I plan to refer others to Craig and Daniels Trading. "
"About a year ago I decided to stop trading stocks and to trade futures exclusively. I knew I needed an established futures broker so I started to search for the best. After talking to some of my trader friends and doing some research online, I settled on three finalists. I enrolled for free simulated trading from each firm and ran the three platforms simultaneously on side-by-side screens. The data feed from Daniels Trading was visibly faster than the other two and their DOM was easiest to enter multiple orders quickly. Daniels Trading also has superior resources to keep me informed of what is happening in the various markets so I can easily adjust my trading strategies to accommodate current market conditions. In addition, they have recommended many new ideas that I would not have found on my own. In short, Daniels Trading has proven to be an organization of highly qualified professionals that clearly understand my needs as a high-frequency, intraday trader. "
"Daniels Trading provides excellent customer service. Craig Turner has always been easily accessible by email and phone and has always happily answered all of my questions. From opening my account to making and managing trades, dt has always been there to help. I couldn't be happier with the service Daniels Trading has provided. "
"I was initially impressed with the company's research on various commodities and the trading platform was very user friendly. However, since that initial exposure I have easily chosen Daniels trading because of the patient yet professional service of my broker, Craig Turner. In these troubling economic times, I have limited monies to spend and I feel Craig treats me with the same enthusiasm that I'm sure he does with clients having larger amounts of money to invest. His patience and expertise is his best attribute and I am grateful."
"I chose Daniels Trading because the commission rate is very competitive, very good trading platform and great broker customer support."
"... My broker Craig Turner does an excellent job for me."

"... That's when I contacted Daniels Trading and met Craig Turner. He was the "perfect" broker for my needs. We established an account and then waited on the real estate sale to fund it.The sale came and I funded the account. I have never regretted the assistance I get from Craig. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful for my needs. I get hounded daily to open accounts elsewhere, but I have no intention of doing that. I hope Craig Turner never leaves Daniels Trading because I am extremely pleased with the service as well as all the information provided by Daniels Trading. Bottom line, Craig Turner and Daniels Trading is the perfect fit for me to move my trading to a new level. I would never consider another firm. If Craig Turner and Daniels Trading want to get rid of me, they will have to pay me alimony. Case closed! Very pleased with Craig and my service at Daniels Trading, I cannot emphasize that enough!"
