Brokers that offer a good selection of commodity CFDs?

FXChoice just suddenly removed all their commodity CFDs available for trade. Up til today they had some of the best selection for instruments to trade, not just commodities, but financial as well, including BTC.

So, are there any brokers that will take Canadians who have a good selection of commodity futures - like cocoa, sugar, natural gas, etc?

Is there a trend towards eliminating commodity futures in brokerages or is it just a sign of trouble at FXChoice?

Answering my own question - XM, although their spreads are ...not too generous.

Their selection is very good. Cocoa, coffee, sugar, copper, corn, wheat, soybeans, oil (x3), ngas, cotton, and the usual metals.

Might worth checking CMC Markets ( my preference ) or IG ! Do your own due diligence before following anyone's advice ? The ones i suggested are publicly listed , well capitalized and regulated in most countries. Hope it helps.

I will check out IG. CMC has such a poor reputation on FPA and elsewhere, I wouldn't risk it. Also it's not an MT4/5 broker but uses some kind of proprietary system, which is always a cause for concern.

IG Markets does not take Canadians.

XM has also a "great" reputation. Be cautios. I am at FXPro, I do not know if they are any better, but as far as I know that they just ned hedge all their clients and do not anything besides that to increase their revenue on us poor retailers.

Yes, I have heard good things about them, sadly they don't take Canadians.

I know XM are somewhat predatory but they're at least fairly big, and regulated in Australia, so I would hope if the worst comes to worse, one could complain and get satisfaction.

Here you go. Just keep me posted, how your testing/results are going.

I tried signing up with XM and couldn't enter 'Canada' in the country of residence list (it's been removed) so it looks like they just suddenly stopped accepting Canadians. This is becoming a plague. My quest continues.
