Terra Nova Trading, L.L.C., established in 1994, is a Broker Dealer offering Direct Access Trading to both retail and institutional clients. Terra Nova Online is a division of Terra Nova Trading and TerraNova-MB is a branch office. Both offer access to the markets through one of the premiere trading platforms, RealTick(R), by Townsend Analytics, Ltd. Acting as representatives for accounts held with Terra Nova Trading, both Terra Nova Online and TerraNova-MB fully support their clients on software, trading, and general account questions. TerraNova-MB is based out of California while Terra Nova Online is in Chicago. As for the differences for those who trade through both, they come down to the people you deal with on a daily basis and, to an extent, the promotional deals each offer. Terra Nova Online currently offers a refer a friend promotion in which both parties receive a calendar month of trades at a commission rate of $7.50 and a Tuition Reimbursement Offer in which we will reimburse you for your training course at MarketWise Trading School. If you are looking into trading with a broker that offers RealTick, Terra Nova Online and TerraNova-MB are two of the best. My suggestion would be to check out both websites, call with any questions you have and then decide who you feel you will work with best.
Good luck in your search!
