Ingmar Mattus, co-Founder of Tickmill, has announced the launch of MetroTrade, aiming to “revolutionise” futures and options trading for retail clients in the US. Based in Chicago, MetroTrade has successfully registered with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as an introducing broker and is a member of the National Futures Organization (NFA). This regulatory approval marks a significant milestone for Mattus, fulfilling his longstanding dream of starting a business in the US.
In a Linked-in post today, Mattus expressed his gratitude to his co-founder, David Klotz, and their dedicated teams in the US and Europe, stating, "Dave's extensive experience in the futures industry pairs perfectly with my own history of co-founding and building Tickmill into a global retail brokerage with licenses in six major financial centers and 100,000 clients. We're thrilled at the prospect of working together with our skilled team to achieve success."
MetroTrade aims to foster strong partnerships with key players in the industry, including the CME Group, FCMs, introducers, and all market participants, to stimulate growth in the US futures industry and provide traders with enhanced options and flexibility. The company's commitment to respect and collaboration reflects the core values of its corporate culture.
The launch of MetroTrade is scheduled for this summer, and interested traders can subscribe to the waiting list for early access on their website.
MetroTrade is backed by Andromeda Capital Partners Suisse, a Swiss-based private equity firm known for its investments in innovative technology and brokerage firms like AgenaTrader, TradersYard, and Change Securities. With the support of Andromeda's extensive portfolio of fintech companies, MetroTrade is looking “to make a significant impact on the financial landscape”.
