Carley Garner and Tracy DeCarlo built DeCarley Trading into a commodity and options broker known for conservative, education focused advice. Garner has written several books on futures and options trading, and the firm has operated in Las Vegas, Nevada since 2004.
For several years DeCarley worked as a guaranteed introducing broker for PFGBest, the trading name of Peregrine Financial Group. In July 2012, PFGBest collapsed after its owner admitted to a fraud that took more than 100 million dollars from client accounts over two decades. That same month, DeCarley moved its business to Zaner Group as an independent introducing broker.
DeCarley Trading now operates as a division of Zaner Group, a member of the National Futures Association under CFTC oversight. Clients can trade futures, commodities, and options through platforms like Sierra Chart, Trading Technologies, and CQG. As with any introducing broker, it is worth checking which clearing firm currently holds client funds.
