If you are brand new to investing, you will need to work with a brokerage firm in order to place any trades we recommend. We have a complimentary list of brokers on our website. No person or company on that list should be considered as permitted to engage in rendering personalized investment, legal, or other professional advice as an agent of Money Map Press. Money Map Press does not receive any compensation for these services. Additionally, any individual services rendered to Money Map Press by the companies listed are considered completely separate from and outside the scope of services offered by Money Map Press. Any contact and resulting relationship is strictly between you and the company.

Once you’ve opened a brokerage account, if you are using a service that trades options, such as Tom Gentile’s services, you will need to apply for an options clearance. You can view our guide to obtaining options clearance here. If you are looking for more broker-specific information, you may also find our Options Approval Resource Guide helpful.

With a brokerage account set up, you are ready to trade! If you need a little more guidance on placing your very first trade, or on stocks or options in general, you can find additional information in our Training Center. There are also resources on cryptocurrency, precious metal and IPO trading here.
