Ian Sweet founded Sweet Futures in 2010 as an independent introducing broker in Chicago. The firm focuses on commodity futures and options, covering energy, grains, livestock, and soft commodities, and it also lists forex and CFD trading among its services.
Sweet Futures does not clear trades itself. It works with outside futures commission merchants such as StoneX, ADMIS, Marex, and Wedbush, so clients pick a clearing firm through Sweet Futures rather than opening an account with Sweet Futures alone. It recently added access to Abaxx Exchange contracts for LNG, battery metals, and carbon credits.
The firm is registered with the CFTC and is an NFA member under NFA ID 0417463. No public disciplinary action shows up for the firm in our research, a fair mark in its favor, but it remains a small broker without a public fee schedule, so ask directly about costs before you commit.
