Bridgeton’s Simulated Trading Program is offered complimentary to all traders who are considering opening an account with Bridgeton. In addition to allowing for you evaluate Bridgeton’s level of service first hand, the Simulated Trading Program offers a unique opportunity to experience and apply information you have gathered through our educational material.

Contrary to programs offered by other companies in the industry, Bridgeton does not require a trader to fund an account in advance – eliminating all barriers to entry.

Once you decide to take advantage of this valuable program, you will learn to:

• Determine the contract and pricing specifications of the markets    that interest you most
• Define your personal trading preferences
• Place orders with your trade specialist
• Utilize different order types
• Track the profit and loss of your positions
• Understand the basics of risk management
• Recognize how margin works in your account
• Appreciate the dynamics of specific markets
• Understand trading strategy basics, and much more

How The Program Works
The program is comprised of a series of phone calls and assignments between you and your trade specialist. After you enroll, your trade specialist will arrange with you a time to begin the program.

The First Call
The program begins with a detailed discussion between you and your trade specialist where you will identify the markets that interest you, explain your trading goals, discuss your trading strategies, express your risk tolerance and overall trading preferences. Additionally, you will be introduced to our quote and charting software, as well as our research.

The Second Call
A second call is planned after you take time on your own to review the markets in further detail. During this second call your trading assistant will help you determine a hypothetical trade(s). During this call the assistant will also review how to place orders, the different types of orders, the contract and pricing specs of the selected markets, how to track profit and loss based on a hypothetical account size, the value of consistency while trading, and the use of risk management in your account.
Before finishing this call, you and your trade associate will plan out your next several contacts based on a specific time of day, market movement, or market news.

Moving Forward
You can call your trading assistant at any time. You can enter into new hypothetical or paper trades, or simply talk about the markets. This service remains available to you until you decide if futures and options trading is right for you. If you decide to open an account, your trading assistant becomes your full-time broker. Together, you will review initial paperwork, walk through the use of our Electronic Order Entry system, preview additional Bridgeton services, and develop strategies that will help you quickly gain market exposure.

It’s easy to get started. Simply call 800-546-3922 to be assigned a trading assistant and choose a date to begin the program.
