Futures Brokerage Services
StoneX provides institutional and commercial clients with access to global futures markets through brokerage, execution, clearing and post-trade support from a single, regulated provider. As the largest non-bank FCM in the U.S., StoneX operates across 40+ derivatives exchanges globally, serving institutional trading desks, commercial hedgers, introducing brokers and professional intermediaries.
Futures trading involves significant risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
Futures brokerage, clearing and execution services
StoneX's futures offering spans the full-trade lifecycle from order origination and execution routing through to clearing, settlement, and operational continuity. Clients can benefit from clearing support and post-trade infrastructure that integrates with their existing trading workflows.
Voice brokerage
For orders that require experienced handling due to complexity, size, market sensitivity or the need for a tailored approach, StoneX provides access to specialist execution desks staffed by professionals active in the markets they cover. StoneX's execution desk operates across global time zones, with market access and desk coverage aligned to client trading activity.
Electronic futures execution
For clients requiring direct market access and high-speed order routing, StoneX supports electronic execution across major futures venues. FIX connectivity, API integration and front-end platform access help institutional and commercial clients execute efficiently within existing systems. Electronic execution can be configured to provide flexibility across different order types and market conditions.
Clearing and post-trade support
StoneX's futures offering extends beyond execution. Clearing, settlement coordination, margin management and reporting workflows are supported across the trade lifecycle, helping clients maintain operational continuity without separate back-office relationships. For institutional desks and commercial hedgers with complex position management requirements, StoneX provides post-trade infrastructure to support ongoing operational controls alongside active trading activity.
Supporting institutional and commercial clients
StoneX's futures services are designed to be relevant across a range of institutional and commercial contexts. The service model is structured around client requirements rather than a fixed product set.

Access across global futures markets
Our market access spans a broad range of futures venues and product categories, with the operational flexibility to support diverse execution requirements within a single service relationship.
Access across major futures exchanges
We provide direct market access and exchange connectivity across more than 40 derivatives exchanges globally, spanning North American, European and Asia-Pacific regions. This breadth of access supports clients trading across multiple markets and time zones. Clients benefit from consistent clearing and operational support regardless of where a position is executed.
Support across product and market requirements
StoneX supports futures activity across principal market categories, including energy, metals, agricultural and soft commodities, equity indices, interest rates and foreign exchange. For commercial clients, this means the ability to hedge multiple exposures within one provider relationship. For institutional clients, it provides access to the product range needed to implement multi-market strategies without separate execution and clearing relationships for each market segment.
Flexible execution pathways across markets
Different markets, order types, and trading conditions call for different execution approaches. Voice brokerage supports orders where market discretion, complexity, or size require a more considered approach. Electronic execution provides the speed and direct market access required for systematic and high-frequency workflows.
Exchange coverage | Market categories | Execution pathways | Client types supported | Clearing | Reporting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Direct access to 40+ derivatives exchanges across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific | Energy, metals, agricultural and soft commodities, equity indices, interest rates, foreign exchange | Voice brokerage, electronic execution, FIX connectivity, API integration, front-end platform access | Institutional trading desks, commercial hedgers, introducing brokers, professional intermediaries | End-to-end clearing and settlement across all supported exchanges and product types | Post-trade reporting, position management, and operational workflow support |
Clearing and operational support across the trade lifecycle
StoneX provides clearing and operational infrastructure that covers the full trade lifecycle, not just the moment of execution.
Execution oversight and operational controls
Order management, pre-trade controls, and position monitoring are supported within StoneX's operational infrastructure, providing the governance framework that regulated clients and institutional counterparties require from a futures service provider.
Post-trade coordination and reporting workflows
Following execution, StoneX supports clearing and settlement processes, post-trade reporting and the documentation workflows associated with regulated futures activity. For institutional clients with internal reporting requirements and commercial hedgers managing hedge accounting or board-level risk reporting, access to structured, timely post-trade data from a single provider helps simplify operational overhead.
Integration with clearing and broader trading workflows
StoneX's clearing and execution infrastructure is designed to integrate with the trading and operational systems institutional and commercial clients already use. FIX connectivity supports integration with order management systems, while API access enables programmatic interaction with account and position data. For complex multi-system environments, StoneX's technical team supports onboarding and integration requirements to help ensure futures activity fits within existing workflows.
Why choose StoneX for futures?
Selecting a futures provider is a long-term operational decision. The criteria that matter like market access, service model, operational reliability, and regulatory standing, are areas where StoneX's infrastructure and track record are second to none.

StoneX's direct connectivity to more than 40 derivatives exchanges globally, and its active participation in physical and financial commodity markets, provides execution reach that extends beyond most clients' immediate requirements. That breadth provides flexibility for clients whose trading needs are not static.
