your bespoke derivatives broker

ODL Securities is a derivatives and equities brokerage specialising in a wide range of products. We offer a diverse range of derivatives knowledge and experience, coupled with very favourable commission rates and provide our customers with telephone and online access to all major UK, US and European exchanges. We offer live online trading for derivatives and equities via ODL J-Trader and myBroker.

With just one account you are able to create, manage and protect your portfolio, trading futures, options on futures, equity and index options and equities on global exchanges.

The ODL Securities Team offers execution only and advisory services. Our customers range from the novice to the very experienced, including those who use derivatives for short term speculation and those who prefer to hedge existing share portfolios and enhance returns as part of a longer term strategy.

The key to successful trading is accessing exchanges via state-of-the-art trading platforms.  We have therefore spent time developing the following services:

• ODL J-Trader, trade futures and options on futures on global exchanges
• myBroker, our live equity and index options trading platform
• Enigma, which generates emails with precise buy and sell signals for FTSE 100 shares
• A secure client site which provides live and dynamic daily positions and portfolio valuations for those who do not trade on-line

We run regular seminars in London aimed at broadening your knowledge of derivatives trading. During our all day seminar you will learn about trading practicalities, options strategies, trading discipline and risk management. You will also be able to see the myBroker on-line trading platform and learn how to access equity and derivatives markets worldwide.

The seminars are open to clients and non-clients of ODL Securities, and take place on the last Friday of each month throughout the year. If you would like further details, please contact James Bateman at ODL Securities on +44 (0)20 7903 6150.

ODL Securities offers direct access to all UK, US and major European derivatives and equities via ODL J-Trader and the myBroker trading platform, which provide customers with a very cost-effective method of trading derivatives online.

ODL Securities also provides a telephone trading service. All dealing clients have FREE access to live Liffe and other exchange data, saving you over £25 per month, and can trade a wide range of recognised strategy trades at competitive rates.

Enigma

ODL Securities offers Enigma, a technical trading system that uses mathematical equations to identify trends in stock markets and produces precise buy and sell signals on FTSE stocks.

Accessed via the Internet, it is very easy to use with no previous technical analysis experience required. Before subscribing you can back-test the software's past performance for many stocks.

You can select stocks and apply various risk parameters before including them in your portfolio. Throughout the trading day, data is collated and precise signals are generated and e-mailed directly to you. If you wish to trade on the back of signals received, limit orders can be placed the same evening or before the market opens the following morning.

Enigma identifies LOW RISK entry points in the chosen stock and either generates STOP LOSS signals based upon pre-defined risk levels or allows you to take scaled profits at pre-determined price levels. It provides you with essential trading discipline and helps to manage decisions in uncertain market conditions. Enigma is a robust trading system that uses the same parameters for each stock. It has not been "curve fitted" therefore it does not produce results in a back-test environment that cannot be replicated in a live trading environment. Curve fitted systems customise the trading rules differently for each market traded, producing unrealistic results.

Once satisfied with the back-test results, you may subscribe to one of two plans and receive a 14-day FREE trial.

• The Enigma Silver plan costs £14.95 per month and you will receive signals on your chosen 10 UK FTSE 100 stocks
• The Enigma Platinum plan costs £49.95 per month and you will receive signals on your unlimited chosen number of UK FTSE 100 stocks

Opt for an annual plan for any of the above and receive signals for 12 months for the price of 11.
