Self Directed Account

At Grand Central Trading, we recognize that no two traders are alike. Although the complexity of the marketplace has created a need for full-service brokerage, we realize many traders are comfortable placing and managing trades on their own.

For these traders, GCT offers self-directed accounts. GCT self-directed traders benefit from advanced trading platforms and reduced fee structures to accommodate active day trades.

Even self-directed traders may periodically require the assistance of a seasoned trading specialist. For this reason, a GCT broker is personally assigned to each self-directed trader and can provide assistance at no additional charge.

The specific benefits for self-directed accounts include:

Advanced Online Trading Platforms*
Access to Real-Time Data*
Online Trading Training with Your Broker
Customized Fee Structures
Trading Assistance and Execution by Your Broker
Risk Monitoring
24-hour Trading Desk Access
GCT Gold Account for Market News, Analysis and Trade Recommendations*

Please contact us at 800-978-6256 for more information on self-directed accounts or for a demonstration of our electronic trading platforms.

*Additional fees and/or exchange fees may apply.

Be aware that investment in commodity futures and/or options for potential profit is accompanied by the risk of loss. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. The benefits of limited risk in trading futures options is only available for long options (Buying "Put" and "Call" Options.) "Limited Risk" refers to the amount of any potential loss, not the likelihood of loss. Trading futures options can involve the loss of the premium paid on the option, plus commissions and fees. Past results are not indicative of future results.
