Daniels Trading –
Independent. Objective. Reliable.

Daniels Trading is an independent futures brokerage firm located in the heart of Chicago’s financial district. Established by renowned commodity trader Andy Daniels in 1995, Daniels Trading is built on a culture of trust committed to the firm’s mission of Independence, Objectivity and Reliability.

Independent

We are proud to be Independent, offering you the freedom and flexibility to choose the technology and clearing arrangement that’s right for you, while providing the best resources and personalized support you deserve.

Objective

Our independence allows us to be objective in determining the best mix of technology, solutions and guidance that makes sense for you. You’ll benefit from our objectivity in two distinct ways:

Objective Solutions – Too often today’s traders are limited by the rigid confinement of singular offerings by individual firms. We’ll work with you to discover and provide the objective solutions that are truly the “best fit” for you…not just cleverly packaged one-size-fits-all answers.

Objective Guidance – Our objective guidance starts with our two most important Service Principles – “Listen First” and “Talk Straight”. Whether you are looking for very active one-on-one guidance from a broker or simply a single point of contact for your self-directed trading, you’ll find us informed, respectful and objective in the guidance we provide.

Reliable

We believe that reliability is crucial to attaining client satisfaction. Reliability is vital to every aspect of our relationship, from the execution of electronically transmitted trades to timely responsiveness and customer communication. Your confidence in our reliability, reinforced over time through every interaction, will serve as the solid foundation for your satisfaction as a client.
