About Dorman Trading

Dorman Trading is one of the oldest, family-operated Futures Commission Merchants in the world. With decades of experience spanning three generations, Dorman Trading has provided the trading community with exceptional customer service and professional support.

Dorman Trading was founded by Bernard Dorman, a local grain trader since 1956 at the Chicago Board of Trade, and was built on the principle of personal service. Two generations of the Dorman family remain active in the daily operations and management of the firm.

The clearinghouse was initially established to service some of the most active "local" floor traders at the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Under the leadership of President and CEO Dennis Dorman, the firm has since evolved into a global operation servicing clients online and around the world, clearing millions of trades each month. Despite our expansion, we have always retained our goal of making every electronic trader at Dorman Trading feel like a "local" trader.

Dorman Trading was built by traders for traders. We believe an experienced and knowledgeable support staff is essential for providing our customers with the tools needed to succeed. In addition to providing over 50 years of experience in futures trading, we provide our customers with the most current technology and trading capabilities. We offer a variety of trading platforms, for professional traders as well as new traders looking to diversify their portfolio. Looking forward, we plan to continue our global expansion while never losing sight of our individual traders.

Dorman Trading is a clearing member of the CME, CBOT, Eurex, and ICE.

DormanFX believes that customers should be aware of the risks associated with over-the-counter, spot Forex. Forex trading is highly speculative in nature which can mean currency prices may become extremely volatile. Forex trading is highly leveraged, since low margin deposits normally are required, an extremely high degree of leverage is obtainable in foreign exchange trading. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited. You may sustain a total loss of your funds. Since the possibility of losing your entire cash balance does exist, speculation in the Forex market should only be conducted with risk capital you can afford to lose which will not dramatically impact your lifestyle.The risk of loss in electronic active investing can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. Market volatility and volume may delay system access and trade execution.
