Structure

As a trader you face many obstacles to becoming confident in your ability to consistently profit. Part of trading is grasping the simple concepts of how the market behaves on your time frame.  Then there is risk management and your own behavior.  Then there are structural obstacles.  These can be especially frustrating and detrimental to a trader’s confidence.

Take for instance how you view the market. Without a reliable data feed you are basing your decisions on incomplete information at best. In some cases the data is wrong entirely. That is why I would never trade without IQ Feed. It is raw, quality data. Information costs money, especially quality information. Why build statistics, your boulders of trading, off of questionable data?

The other structural piece is your brokerage. You have so many choices. However, after working with many, I can confidently say Stage Five Trading Corp is the best futures broker out there. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an absolute n00b, you will benefit by trading at Stage Five. Their mission as a business aligns with the goals of their trader-clients and it shows. The experience is positive and educational.

They do not just want your commission. They want to see you succeed because they know it means a long term relationship. They take pride in their ability to listen to traders and they offer many proprietary tools free of charge to their clients.
