Our Team
ITS is a guaranteed introducing broker owned by Peter Georgantones and Timothy J. Roth. Our fundamental backgrounds, combined with a host of technical tools at our disposal, guarantees our clients a more diversified approach to markets and futures trading. Our core group of brokers, located at our corporate headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota, have a combined 60+ years experience in the futures industry. Tim Roth In this office, I am the "Crafty Veteran", which is simply the polite way of saying that I am the old guy on the block, with 35 years of futures trading experience. Needless to say, there is a lot I have seen over the past 35 years, including the beginnings of trading in many new markets including bonds, currencies and stock indexes to mention a few. The question is, can all this experience be of any meaningful benefit to my clients and ITS as a whole. Of course I think it can. After graduating from the University of Minnesota, I started my commodities career in 1973 with a firm that traded cash grain and futures with an export firm next door. I cut my teeth on fundamental trading. Today traders must have some technical expertise. In 1982, I took over the manager's job at DLJ in Minneapolis, where I oversaw a clearing operation on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange and a retail brokerage office. This experience was a big help in seeing a lot of things that got brokers and their clients in trouble. Sometimes that experience can be quite beneficial simply by avoiding the extremely risky situations as well as seeking the potentially profitable trades. My dealings over the years with large commercial hedgers and small speculators, and all the accounts in between, have given me the ability to better understand the clients needs. We don't pretend to understand all markets or all clients needs, but we have learned how to deal with most people and most markets with honesty, integrity, and good old fashioned hard work. My ultimate message to you, whether or not you choose ITS as your broker, can be summed up in one word – discipline. Use sound money management and you could be one of the good statistics in a business full of bad ones. Greg Himler Greg brings 9 years of financial services experience working for a number of brokerage firms including Refco, Man Financial and Newedge. Greg received his BA from SDSU. Greg has recently joined ITS to help grow its Institutional Customer base. Peter Georgantones I started in 1986 trading at the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. Over the years, with the constant changes in the futures industry, I now manage discretionary accounts, online trading accounts, and managed futures fund accounts. Trading commodities for individuals as well as myself has given me a wealth of experience. This has greatly assisted me in managing my present client base. Experiencing both the euphoria of a good trade and the frustration of a poor trade allow me to truly understand the needs and concerns of my customers. 1 (800) 757-0443 its@tradingservices.com |
