|
This broker's service is better than the competition in these areas:
Superior spread execution is critical and all PTI brokers fight to get the best and fastest execution. Many PTI clients do spread trading and our business is built on premium spread execution. Each broker selects the appropriate exchange based on the best price for each trade - not a pre- arranged exchange "switch". Open trades are worked in the trading pit continuously. PTI brokers know where an order is likely to be filled and how to "work" that order on the floor. A network of off-floor staff on trading desks augments this system, and are able to move orders between exchanges, if necessary, to obtain the best and fastest executions.
