Ironbeam: The Premier FCM for Introducing Brokers

The futures industry sets itself apart by being both a niche sector of the markets as a whole, but also extremely diversified with respect to the broad array of parties involved. Hedgers and speculators of all types create unique business opportunities and emerging finance professionals have taken notice. In this article, we will discuss a few of the many reasons Ironbeam has been the choice of many of these new introducing brokers.

Proprietary Trading Platform

As an ISV of the exchange, our API and trading infrastructure does not rely on a third-party data or routing vendor like CQG or Rithmic. This allows us the freedom to be better from a cost standpoint. We offer a free API, no routing or connection fees.

Front-Middle-Back Office Solutions

Accessibility to account data is integral to overseeing a trading account, hedging, or monitoring a managed account. Our platform links directly to our middle and back office solutions. P&L data along with account detail and fills are live. We also have unity in our team structure, from our client services team, to trade desk, to our accounting, compliance, and risk departments, they all communicate together and then to the client for a seamless transmission of information and solutions.

A Boutique Experience

Often with platform and brokerage services, it can be difficult to reach support and find each account is assigned an account manager, an AP of Ironbeam. Our business development team collectively accounts for over 50 years of experience in the industry. Whether you a futures-based ETF or an individual retail trader, you have a member of our team devoted to your account.

Professional Trade Desk

Collectively, our team represents well over 100 years of futures industry experience. Our professional trade-desk is available 23 hours per day, 6 days a week to assist the trader with daily operation and execution. A reliable partner is essential in futures trading and often emerging IBs rely upon our trade desk for support both for managed and self-directed accounts.

Risk Management Tools

Monitoring accounts, trading the markets and monitoring risk can be too much for the emerging introducing broker. Our Impact back-office risk management tools have auto-liquidate features and our through our network of technology solutions, custom limits and guidelines can be assigned to each individual account. Managing risk of a larger hedger is much different than managing risk of a small self-directed account. Our tools enable alerts and other features, which can be adjusted on an individual client basis.

Ultimately, culture is our distinctive trait. We are here to help and flexible with solutions. Reach out with any further questions.
