Brokerage
Firms
Floyd
believes selecting the right brokerage firm is a crucial element to your
success. Each brokerage firm is unique. Some are tailored for
professionals whose main requirement is fast execution with a minimum
commission while others require help with placing orders and managing
trades. For those that need help with placing orders, Floyd recommends
paying a little more in commission initially over a period of time until
comfortable on their own then switching to a lower commission
service. The goal is to be as independent as possible. Below
is a list of brokerage firms that provide an array of services, meeting
the needs of the beginner trader right up through the professional.
