Alaron Trading Corp. is a Chicago-based futures commission merchant with a highly diversified client base. Founded in 1989, Alaron is a clearing member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade and OneChicago, LLC, and is a member firm of NQLX and the Merchants’ Exchange.  Through our wholly owned affiliates we are a dealer and market maker in foreign exchange and cash metals. All services are available to all clients. 

We have received many email messages from beginners to trading who have asked us which sites we feel should be visited in regards to trading platforms and other informational resources. They wish to open an account with people they can trust, and people they believe will assist with their trading instead of just telling them what to do. Instead of calling every brokerage firm to find the representative they feel comfortable with, they have come to our "neutral" site to ask for help.
