How to Open a Managed Futures Account
Here is a step-by-step guide to open a Managed Futures account. Several different forms will need to be filled out and what makes it a little confusing is sometimes there are two different page numbers.
For example, the Vision Futures Account Application booklet's first 3 pages are the cover sheet, the explanation of Anti-Money Laundering/Privacy Policy page and the Table of Contents. Then page 4 of the booklet is Form 1 and the lower right corner shows it as page 1. So when you go to print just that page, you need to know to print page 4, which is actually page 1.
Got it?
Another thing to know is you can type on the lines of the form itself when it opens in Adobe Reader, but you can't save your typing so after you type on the form lines, print out the completed pages and sign or initial as needed.
