The BEST Direct trading platform is one of the most user-friendly online order entry systems in the futures industry. It was built with the features that professional traders demand - ease of operation and risk control.

Ease of Operation
Rather than crowd your desktop with rarely used features, BEST Direct was designed for easy placement of orders. The platform includes advanced features that were designed so that they don't get in the way of quick, efficient order entry.

Risk Control
The BEST Direct platform was developed so that customer risk is determined before trades are executed. This is consistent with PFG's risk management policy and reduces broker and customer risk.

Reliability
BEST Direct has built-in redundancy with communications links to major exchanges. The PFG development team continuously refines BEST Direct so that it has the most reliable communications, trading, and back office systems possible.

Commitment to Customer Service
PFG's customer service team has a strong blend of experience, professionalism, and technical skills to assist clients with questions about their accounts or the BEST Direct platform. They will help get you started on BEST Direct and will work with you until you are comfortable with all aspects of the trading platform.
