Dorman Trading is dedicated to providing Introducing Brokers the highest quality products and service available. Over three generations, we've been building a product line we believe worthy of the solid execution and clearing services for which we have become known. During these past 50 years we've built a business dealing first and foremost with Floor Traders – without question the most demanding of all professional traders.
To meet the challenge of Electronic Trading, Dorman has invested considerable time and monies to provide the finest electronic trading platforms in the industry.
We have spoken to hundreds of IBs both directly and through the National Introducing Broker's Association. Two themes clearly emerged – a need to be able to offer clients a selection of trading platforms and a desire to be able to offer alternative investment products including managed futures and a selection of trading systems. In response, we now offer a suite of five front-end trading platforms from which to choose.
The table immediately below lists those platforms, as well as the markets and exchanges they serve.

We have also put together a cutting-edge product line of managed accounts futures and systems.
We have developed a full-service packaged product line including not only managed futures but a broad selection of independently rated trading systems encompassing both manual and auto-execute programs, including the software required to make them work (Strategy-Runner and Ninja Zen-FIRE).
Coupled with our "rock solid" clearing and execution, we offer a total package designed not only to transact and track individual trades, but also provide superior products to help grow your business (see links below for details).
We provide informal consulting and networking within our IB family to generate more efficient marketing plans and act as a sounding board for new ideas, while working together to find new ways to generate business.
The IB and AP Handbooks are great resources for those just getting started and as an ongoing reference. Download these guides below:
We encourage you to learn more about the products and services available to all Dorman IBs.
It is our firm belief that the relationship between the IB and the FCM should be a partnership. When that partnership grows, both businesses become stronger providing the means for still further growth. Rest assured we will do everything possible to aid in your growth and we pledge to do so in ways which will never compete with you. To that end, Dorman has made a corporate decision to build our full-service and broker-assist operation solely through our IB network. That's right – no internal sales staff – no competition – no worries.
We all know how much time, effort and commitment it takes to build a futures brokerage operation – doesn't it make sense to do so with a firm who's entire business model is solely directed at executing and clearing trades for you and your clients as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible - while allowing you to do what you do best?
