Commodity futures broker?

[boza]

Hi,

Could someone recommend an online commodities futures broker that can trade the LME?

Interactive brokers don't have access to LME, and expresstrade don't offer futures trading to Australians yet.

Thanks

Try MF Global (www.mfglobal.com.au). I believe they are a member of the LME.

I don't think they offer online trading platform. Most LME traders still have to make their order by phone, unless you are big clients where they will offer Select trading system.

Ehhh? That's a new one to me. I'm certain Aussies can use xpresstrade.

I tried signing up to xpresstrade on their site, but when you select 'Australia', it redirects you to optionsxpress australia, which doesn't seem to offer futures. Any ideas?

They should have a chat facility on their site, or call them.

I'm pretty sure at least one other member here has an account with them.

Just tried their online chat thingy. The rep said no

I'll have a go with mfglobal
