Client Acknowledgment of Text Messaging Policy for Trading Orders

Our firm is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and is a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). We comply with all applicable recordkeeping and supervision requirements for customer communications and orders.

We permit customers to place trading orders via text message for convenience. However, you do so entirely at your own risk.

Key Risks and Guidelines

• Your Associated Person (AP/broker) may not receive or see your text message promptly, which could result in delayed execution, missed market opportunities, or unintended positions.
• For time-sensitive or urgent orders, always call your AP directly on their dedicated line. If unreachable, contact the trade desk at 1-800-920-5808 Ext. 1.
• To minimize errors, keep text orders clear and concise.

Include:

• Quantity of contracts
• Product/symbol
• Month and year
• Buy/sell
• Any price limits or order type

Order Confirmation

• Your AP may text back to repeat and confirm the order. A simple "Yes" (to confirm) or "No" (to cancel) response is appreciated.
• Avoid emojis, abbreviations, or casual language, as this helps ensure clarity and compliance.
