Steps to Apply for an Account by Mail

1. Print this page, and refer to it as your instructions for opening a new futures and options trading account. The entire process is quick and easy, but it’s important to use this page as a checklist.
2. Provide us with your name and mailing address by clicking on the button below, and we’ll mail you our free new account kit containing everything you need to open a new trading account.

   PROVIDE NAME AND MAILING INFORMATION

3. When you receive the new account kit in the mail, complete all necessary forms, and answer all questions fully. Some request financial information, but you can also rest assured that XPRESSTRADE’S Privacy Policy is very important to us. We’ve been awarded the TRUSTe seal of approval for safeguarding your personal information.
4. After completing the account forms, carefully read the Customer Agreement, the Risk Disclosure Statement for Futures and Options, and the other information about the terms of XPRESSTRADE accounts. In addition, please review your account forms to make certain that you’ve provided us with accurate, current information.
5. Execute the account forms. Please be sure to sign all forms in all appropriate areas. Failure to do so will result in a delay in opening your new trading account.
6. Choose how you will fund your new XPRESSTRADE account. Our minimum initial account size is U.S. $5,000. You won’t be able to enter your first order at XPRESSTRADE until cleared funds become available in your account. So, if you’re in a hurry to trade, we recommend that you include a certified check or cashier’s check–for at least $5,000 and made payable to ADM Investor Services–along with your completed account forms.
7. Return your signed account forms to XPRESSTRADE. We’ll take care of the rest! Once we’ve accepted your account application, we’ll send you a User ID, Temporary Password, and Account Number by e-mail or regular mail (depending on which method you selected in the account forms). While we make every effort to open new accounts within 24 hours, please note that transfers from other futures brokerage firms typically take 3-5 business days to complete. We add your positions and funds to your new XPRESSTRADE account just as soon as they are received from the delivering broker. You can help speed the transfer process by contacting your previous broker and demanding an immediate transfer.
8. After you’ve logged into the secure areas of the XPRESSTRADE system for the first time, you will be required to select your own customized, private password. For security reasons, no individual associated with XPRESSTRADE will ever ask you to reveal your password, and you should never reveal this password in any communication with us, whether by telephone, e-mail, or written correspondence. To maintain the highest level of security, never share your password with anyone.
