What is a Commodities Broker?
Before starting to look at the requirements of someone you want to hire, understand that there can be a number of terms used to describe someone that trades on your behalf in the commodities markets. For example, some of the terms you may hear thrown around could be futures brokers, commodities broker, commodity futures broker, or simply a commodities brokerage. All of them pretty much mean the same thing, with the exception of a commodities brokerage, which refers to the umbrella firm the broker works under. In the end, all it means is they are someone able to execute trades for you, and/or give input on the best possibilities available to you in the sector at this time.
