How We Help Traders Maximize Earnings

  • Commitment to trading floor quality
    • Best education comes from the best traders
    • Shorter adjustment times through better communication and diverse strategies
  • Integrated Automated Trading division with whom traders can partner for new income streams
  • Unique trading tools developed in-house
  • Firm scale and reputation that affords us access to exclusive platforms and technology
  • Access to solid balance sheet with regular merit- and opportunity-based capital increases

 

What We Look For

  • Actively traded strategies that can be clearly communicated with demonstrable risk/reward profiles
