DISCOUNT FUTURES TRADING FOR PROFESSIONALS

Professional Traders can now benefit from institutional pricing and institutional leverage. Hedge funds and institutions have long benefited from low pricing on transactions combined with  intraday leverage.  This allows the pros to capitalize on quickly changing,  intraday momentum swings. Now you can trade like the pro's do with Abaco!

Trade like the Pros with Abaco!

Here are just a few of the many benefits of  opening  your account  with Abaco Futures:

  • Pay less in transaction fees as low as $2.97 per  contract charge.  This includes  all  exchange fees, platform fees, etc. for BESTDirect 8 users

  • Markets eligible for this discounted rate are US electronic futures products

  • Use up to 8 to 1 leverage* for day trading or 12.5% of initial margin requirements for US Electronic Futures Products.

  • Help protect your account from large drawdowns with pre-programmed auto liquidation settings for risk management

  • Trade when the news is happening with 24 hour market access, and many times with greater liquidity than equities 

  • Ease of trading with 3rd generation technology on the  BESTDirect order entry system 

  • Keep less on deposit with your futures account by avoiding the stock brokerage industry standard $25,000 minimum account size required to day trade equities and options. These rules do not apply to Futures accounts. Call us at 561-283-4282 to learn more about futures account requirements.
