I believe success in trading commodities involves hard work and discipline, as well as a common sense approach toward fundamental and technical analysis, which allows for the utmost flexibility - an essentiality for generating positive cash flow in today's markets. Protecting my clients' principal in such a tumultuous investing arena, is of course, paramount, and I attempt to achieve this by employing stops and being prepared to liquidate unhealthy trades. My strength lies in the ability to remain calm through both adversity and prosperity, creating a solid foundation from which to develop market strategies for my clients.

Industry Background:

Chicago Board of Trade member. I was an independent floor trader, pit broker and floor broker with Cantor Fitzgerald. Some of my clients included traders from Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers. Also, I acted in the capacity of desk manager for the morning trade desk.

"I was a little hesitant to get into commodities again because I have had some bad experiences with brokers in the past. But after being referred to your firm, I came into contact with Greg. Since he has been my broker, it has been a pleasant experience. He always calls and keeps me informed as to what is happening in the market, and is always available to answer any questions I have, unlike the brokers at other firms I have had before. Greg is an asset to your firm." -George of Newburgh, NY
