"Why I Chose DT" Responses from Scott's Clients:
"Scott made my trading experience very easy. He always, not only is patient, but answered my questions with explanations that I could understand. Definitely a grade "A" brokerage."
"I found a qualified broker that I could relate to on a personal level, and has a discernible level of integrity. Quite simply, I trust him. I like doing business with him. "
"I chose Daniels Trading for several reasons. First, I've been talking with Scott Hoffman for quite a while before actually opening an account and during that time was given free trials to newsletters and had questions answered by Scott with no pressure to hurry up and open an account. The no pressure approach is huge. Second, I really like dtPro. It is very easy to use and that was important because it was my first real experience with online trading. Again this too came with a free trial to test drive. Third, was the webinars and continuing education. Scott always takes time to answer questions. And the final reason is that transaction costs are reasonable at Daniels. Overall, I'm very happy I switched firms."
"When I dial and the telephone rings Scott Hoffman picks up the call immediately. We live in a digital age and that is a good thing, however, the human voice is still irreplaceable. With me, having immediate access to another human being is imperative in my business activities."
"As a new trader, I like the emphasis Daniels places on education and I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and resources Daniels provides on their website including the webinars, commodity news, and email alerts they send to their clients. I chose my broker, Scott Hoffman, not only for his knowledge and experience but because he CARES about his clients. He can walk new traders through their first trade, is available to answer questions and will give you his professional opinion about a trade you may be considering."

"Being new to futures, although not to trading, I needed a broker that could guide me through the basics. I had been reading Scott's swing trading blog for a few weeks, and realized that through Daniels Trading, I would have access to a senior level broker who also traded in a manner similar to my own. Scott and the team at Daniels have far exceeded my expectations, offering a level of service that has completely met my needs. "
