What does MetroTrade Do?

MetroTrade is a futures broker and trading platform built for individual traders. We operate as an Independent Introducing Broker, partnering with Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs) for clearing and trade execution while we own the client relationship and experience.

Our clearing partners handle trade execution, exchange floor operations, and back-office processes. We handle you. That means you get the infrastructure and reliability of institutional-grade clearing with the personal attention and responsiveness of a team that actually knows your name.

What We Offer

At the core, MetroTrade provides a futures trading platform where individual retail traders can open live or demo accounts to trade futures contracts. Alongside the platform, we offer:

Educational content and trading tools — position size calculators, PnL calculators, strategy guides, and in-depth articles covering everything from the basics to advanced techniques.

A free demo and simulator account — so traders can practice and get comfortable with the platform before putting real money on the line.

A streamlined account opening process — designed to move traders from registration to a funded, active account as smoothly as possible.

Real, personal support — no layers of bureaucracy, no runaround. Just a team that takes your trading as seriously as you do.

How We’re Different

MetroTrade is built to be a more accessible, customer-focused alternative to the bigger players in the futures space.

We have the experience and resources to deliver institutional-quality brokerage services, but we remain nimble enough to treat every client like they matter — because they do.

Our Mission

We help individual traders get into futures trading with the right platform, education, and support. Our focus is on making the path from “interested” to “actively trading” as clear and straightforward as possible — and then being there for you once you are.
