New Rules Level the Field for
mutual funds and banks can participate in the futures markets are
leveling the playing field for individual investors, but research
and trading support are still a key factor in futures market trading.
research and trading support can "make all the difference in the world
to individual traders." Introducing brokers (IB), like Metis
Resources, occupy a unique position in the commodities trading
business. "Our clients trust us to provide comprehensive research,
news and data as well as handle the day-to-day requirements of
managing their accounts with the Futures Clearing Merchant. Then they
can do what they do best — and that's focus directly on their
trades," said Cox.
"This leaves traders free to concentrate on their own businesses while
we take care of the paperwork and other minutiae involved in making
sure their trades were executed, order confirmations were received,
money was properly transferred and margin calls were met," added Cox.
"But the most important thing we can provide are answers to timely
questions that traders may have about their account. Our turn-around
time and customer service is second to none. We're always focused on
good customer service – a competency that business in general can use
in this day and age of deteriorating customer service," Cox added.
That service is particularly important in the wake of the
crisis. "Many of the people who need to be active in the futures
market are still nursing their wounds after the
Cox said.
"This includes farmers who couldn't get to the cash they needed to buy
seeds for the upcoming growing seasons, ranchers who couldn't buy
cattle and oilfield operators who couldn't post margin for their open
positions and saw all of their oil hedges liquidated."
To encourage those investors to return to the market, Metis is
offering an Access Leadership program that includes thirty days of
free access to Metis' proprietary research. (Visit

"We've worked with one of the largest cattle feeding operations since
our inception in 2003," Cox noted. "Additionally, we have first-hand
knowledge of the inner workings of a major independent offshore oil
production company and their risk management needs. This provides a
unique perspective on the energy market."
That experience helps drive the proprietary research that Metis
Resources provides to its clients to help them make their investment
decisions. "We're so confident in our unique insights into the
cattle, grains and oil markets that we allow interested potential
clients to sample our research updates for a month before they need to
make a decision to join us," Cox said.
"We're committed to providing the best service and research to help
our clients effectively hedge their exposure to commodity prices," he
added.
