About Our Business Phil McArdle

Hello! Thanks for checking us out. Let me give you some background and reasons to consider us as your brokerage firm.

• If you haven't heard of us it's probably because we don't advertise in the Wall Street Journal, Investors Business Daily or on TV like the larger brokerage firms. That doesn't mean we aren't as good as they are but it does mean we don't spend as much on advertising as they do.

I've been a broker and owned McArdle Grain & Commodities since June, 1992. I am registered with National Futures Association and Commodity Futures Trading Commission as an Introducing Broker.

• We strive to be different - we don't use high pressure tactics. We make a special effort to be accommodating to new traders because we understand that futures trading can be complex and intimidating to those just starting out.

• Some brokerage firms that claim to be trader friendly charge $100.00 or more commission per trade. Don't allow yourself to be over charged!! Our commission rates are extremely competitive.
