Best broker for trading commodity options?

[saturnine]

I am looking for opinions on the best brokers for commodity options (agriculture, etc), any and all recommendations are welcome. I have been told about Refco, but I would like others to compare to also. Thanks!

I have used 5perside.com in the past and had reliable service and cheap commissions. They are also a division of Man Financial.

Good luck

Goldenberg, Hehmeyer & Co.

Both are excellent and in the ags.

I have traded with 5perside and I noticed some delay in reporting your fills back from the options pits.

Now I am with Ira Epstein and their reporting is substantially faster.

They're introducing brokers for MAN, so they should do exactly as 5perisde, still they do better.

Hey Arb,

Now that we've gotten into this conversation, which equities options brokers do you find best?

Thanks,
