Optimus Trading Group is a commodity futures broker built by investors for investors. Our mission is to deliver advanced tools and knowledgeable support to help our clients achieve their long-term investment goals.


Why Choose Optimus Trading Group?

Experienced investors look for the right foundations to achieve their investment goals: advanced and straightforward tools, daily research they can set their watches to, and quality execution they can depend on. As a private client of Optimus Trading Group, we empower you with these and more, giving you the choices and resources to invest better, smarter and faster.

Here are some questions that we encounter directly from our customers: 

"I am overwhelmed by the choices of brokers on the net, why Optimus?
A: We don't have an agenda! You do what you like...you feel like trading futures online, then we are committed to providing you with a platform that suites your needs. Looking automated systems? Then we are committed to provide with a selection of systems without downplaying the risk...get the picture? Honesty is our policy! 


"Brokers are Dime a Dozen! You are all the same....Commissions Driven"
A: At Optimus we believe that Commissions or making money for any organization is a by-product of hard work. So expect us to work hard for your money, your trust and your business. This is the only way we want to get rewarded. Commissions is the only legal way for us to get compensated in a monetary fashion, but we will accept warm apple pies on weekend as gratitude. 


"OK,talking about commissions...what do you charge?"
A: Fair Question. Here is how determine commissions: The service you require...the service you use, etc. For example: you might be a day trader who needs Emini SP where we could charge a buck above the exchange rate, or charge a bit more for a totally supervised mechanical trading system we have generated for you.  Here is our philosophy: Commissions can't "eat" into your account to the level where you don't stand a chance to make money. We will be fair...because we look at you as a long term asset...not an expiring option.


"hmmm...so what service you recommend for me, I am a beginner" 
A:
If you are a beginner that never traded futures or commodities, and your first instinct is to trade online, it could be a match, but you have to think well about  previous trading experience. Honestly, because you traded before with a discount stock broker for $7.99 makes you a pro to trade a highly leveraged futures contract? We don't know your experience, only you can answer this question.


But, in case you decided that you need some help, we can assign you an experienced broker.Not a schmuk who is being yelled by a sales manager to bring another sale, but a pro wholooks at charts and indicators and see what is going and can convey information to you, so you can make an intelligent decision. Also, we have a selection of automated systems where you could start would something that would give you a feel for themovements that a futures contract can go through.  We respect your choice, and guide you the best of our ability. 


"I do want to trade online...can you help me with a platform?"
A
: Yes, we will give you one based on needs and experience. We will provide you a walk through demo, and will give a demo so you can try it on your own. If you did not like it, then we will give you another platform to test.


"what else is there?" Daily research, daily recommendations, emails statements, portal for statements and confirmations of trades, attentive brokers, best office manager in the world (see Jennifer...we didn't forget you!), fast account opening, variety of platforms, variety of mechanical trading systems,T1 line for fast execution, dedicated server for automated strategies, programmers to program your methodology, 24/5 trade desk support...and many nice people.

Clients Testimonials
This is an experience of a certain client. Your experience may vary.

The service I receive from your staff at Optimus Futures is exceptional. Being new to trading futures, I needed extra guidence and attention. Even though I have a small account, Chad has been very helpfull and always willing to explain any detail. I have great confidence in your staff. Everyone at Optimuns treats me with the same courtesy and attention that would be expected by any big investor.

I really do appreciate what you, Chad, and Jennifer do for me as my broker.

The thing I like most about Optimus Trading is the way that Matt and Chad interact with me as a trader. Their assumption is always that I know what I'm doing. When they present an alternative suggestion they do so in a way that gives me additional information so that I can evaluate my decision more fully. Matt's office manager, Jennifer, is a great part of the team too. She is always pleasant and has helped me a number of time with paperwork on new accounts and transfering funds to and from my accounts.

When I come to them with questions they give me the benefit of their experience quickly and confidently. Their confidence in both themselves and me makes the good trades better and the bad trades more easily accepted.

I would recommend Optimus Trading to anyone who was considering a relationship with a new broker.

Hello Matt

We have worked together about 3 years and I want to thank you, Chad and Jennifer for all you have helped me with over that time. It’s a pleasure to work with people you can call friends. It’s great to know when you call you can talk with someone that knows your name and makes you fill like they actually want to help you. Chad is great with managing automated systems and Jennifer with keeping my accounts straight. You have a great team and I’m looking forward with working with your firm for years to come.

Again thanks for everything

I have been with Optimus Trading for a few years now, and have been consistently impressed with their level of service. I’ve had other brokers who didn’t know my name, who didn’t care if I lost every cent in my account, and who treated me as an inconvenience. The folks at Optimus have always been courteous, have at times steered me away from making unwise trades, and have, in general, been a pleasure to work with. In addition, the Optimus website has a lot of valuable information and the periodic blog updates are very helpful. I recommend Optimus as a partner for anyone’s commodities trading business.
