I recommend you look at the disciplinary history of Michael Flett, owner of the Flett Exchange, before doing business with him. He's been disciplined 3 times by the NYMEX and paid over $100,000 in fines and restitutions. One disciplinary action was for trading ahead of a customers order, and now he provides his own oversight! You can see his record at the National Futures Association site at www.nfa.futures.org/ba... and www.nfa.futures.org/ba... Here is the text of the most serious one:
