System Traders

Our System Trading Division monitors trading systems for clients who do not have the time or equipment to properly run a trading system from their location. The System Trading Division specializes in connecting, calibrating and running your system on a twenty four hour basis or simply allowing you to access your server on our racks in San Francisco, Chicago or New York.

We offer:

  • Direct Connections to Exchange Gateways
  • Tier Pricing on commissions to active systems
  • Assistance in leasing/buying Exchange Seats and Electronic Programs that the Exchanges offer
  • Rebates for Data, Software, and Hardware based on volume
  • Back office software on all accounts with the performance and statistical analysis that we all need
  • 3rd Party marketing and private capital networks to take the system or portfolio of systems to that next level
  • Assistance with the DDOC and registration as a CTA or CPO along with compliance, legal and accounting support

The division is comprised of experienced, salaried brokers who will execute your trading system with precision. You can monitor the execution of the trades generated by the system in real time. Executed trades can also be emailed or faxed to the trader within minutes of execution.

We can also assist the trader in picking a system that is right for your personal goals. The System Trading Division has extensive experience trading most commercially available systems, and passes this experience on to the trader free of charge. We can quickly investigate a system and report important traits such as curve fitting, profit factor, flat time, standard deviation, MAR ratio, and other important characteristics that can influence the performance of a trading system over time.

QuikSilver Futures focuses on the client's best interest by eliminating any conflict of interest issues, such as financial relationships with system vendors and large execution costs for system traders. Our goal is to provide our clients with the best possible execution and very reasonable execution rates.

Signals can be sent from any software/data platform to our proprietary FIX order system for execution. Gray Box and Black Box consulting is offered to traders that may need the technical, programming, and back testing assistance. A per hour fee is available for this program and can be used in 30 minute increments. OUR IT TEAM IS READY TO HELP.

If you have further questions about choosing the right system, please call us at 415-291-7300 and ask to speak to a member of our Systems Trading Division for further assistance.
