The Introducing Broker (IB)

An introducing broker is a commodity broker who introduces the client to the Futures Commodity Merchant. The IB is an intermediary between the client and the FCM, and the IB passes futures contract orders on to the FCM for which they receive a commission. The FCM executes the order and also holds the client money while the IB is unable to accept money, securities or property from the client.
