Thoughts about brokers for trading things OTHER than Forex/Crypto...?

[ajanm]

I'm wondering if we can start a thread about brokers we like/dislike to give others some ideas...

I'm specifically interested in trading Futures or commodities. I'm looking at a broker called Pepperstone (that also does Forex) and am wondering if anyone has experience with them? ...and then sadly leared that Pepperstone doesn't accept clients in the US... (I'm US)

Are there other recommended brokers that do more or things other than Forex or crypto? (That work with MT4 or MT5)

AJ,

You can check out https://fyntura.com/ and https://oxsecurities.com/ which both allow for US Clients to trade commodities and stock indices. Both of these companies are considered 'off-shore'; however, they allow for trading of things on MT4 or MT5.

Starting a thread about brokers can be really helpful for everyone! It's unfortunate to hear that Pepperstone doesn't accept US clients, especially since they have a good reputation.

For US-based traders looking to trade futures or commodities, you might want to consider brokers like TD Ameritrade (with Thinkorswim), Interactive Brokers, or NinjaTrader. All of these support futures trading and offer robust platforms. Unfortunately, they don't directly support MT4 or MT5, but you can use third-party software to bridge the gap. (Make sure to do your own due diligence when selecting brokers)

If anyone has other broker recommendations or experiences, feel free to share!
