Individual Accounts
Until quite recently we did not accept clearing accounts, consulting relationships or subscription services for individual traders and investors. Our services were originally developed with full time energy professionals in mind. However based on client requests and our increasing dissatisfaction with the generally abysmal level of financial advice that is typically available, we have introduced a financial technical advisory service for both traders and investors. If you are an individual trader not affiliated with an energy-related firm but feel that you would benefit from our services, then send us an e-mail and we will contact you and explore a possible relationship. We cannot guarantee that we can accommodate every such request but we will do our best.
