If you are interested in an account with Alternative Options and would like to learn more, we invite you to complete the Contact Form as your next step.
Investors who are eligible for a commodity options portfolio may schedule a complimentary, no-obligation consultation to answer your questions regarding our managed accounts and how they work. We’ll define our full portfolio strategy including a detailed description of our trading plan, risk parameters, risk management plan, market breakdowns and commodities you can expect to trade, margin targets and other trading information. You will also learn more about what to expect in your interactions with your Alternative Options team, as well as clearing information, due diligence, risk disclosures, and a specially designed quiz to determine if a commodity options portfolio is right for you.
To get started, please submit the form online or simply call our office at (813) 999-0026.
Benefits Of Becoming A Client
As a client of Alternative Options CTA, your account will be individually monitored and managed by Portfolio Manager James Cordier and his team. Your point of contact will be a single person who knows you by name – not just your account number.
We do not offer self-directed accounts, nor do we offer discount rates. Your investment will not be pooled with other clients’ money. You will have an individual segregated account with a designated futures clearing merchant.
Trades are made on your behalf as new opportunities arise or risk
assessments change. You will have access to view the details of every trade and position in your portfolio. Some clients may follow their activity on a daily basis, while others prefer to view their progress only occasionally – it is your choice. Your level of engagement is up to you.
You maintain ultimate control over your account. There are no
minimum holding periods or withdrawal penalties. You can direct us to pause or stop your trading plan at any time.
For clients who are new to commodity futures and options markets, we are happy to guide your introduction to this different class of investing – answering every question that you have prior to making a single trade. For those already experienced in these markets, we think you will find that our approach is unlike anything you have experienced with other trading firms.
Contact Us to learn if you can benefit from a managed commodity
option portfolio.
