Advanced Markets Review

Advanced Markets was created in 2006 and is a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and Foreign Exchange Dealer (FDM) member of the National Futures Association (NFA) and is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Advanced Markets LLC is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is America’s 2nd largest banking center.

Anthony Brocco is the CEO and he has been a part of the financial industry since 2001, the date Foreign Exchange currency trading was made available to individuals in the United States. Advanced Markets was formed when he saw the need for a forex firm that could deliver a transparent and conflict-free trading environment. Advanced Markets executes trades based on pricing straight from leading foreign exchange banks, not from a dealing desk. They do not take on any of the risk as they lay off all trade positions with the bank market makers at point of execution. Advanced Markets is a firm focused on giving clients what they desire and deserve; great pricing, great execution and great customer service.

The 1st step Advanced Markets took to accomplish this goal was to begin building relationships with top tiered foreign exchange banks. They presented their Direct Market Access model (DMA) as well as technologically advanced platforms to the banks, who realized that Advanced Markets is distinctive. As a result, they currently have multiple bank feeds which continue to evolve based on our clients needs and the ever changing market environment. Relationships with our interbank price providers are made easier by the partnered involvement of Macquarie Bank as our price broker and source of a number of resources and levels of assistance in evolution of the company.
