Proprietary Trading Groups

Our Proprietary Trading Group Account structures provide institutions with the ability to authorize multiple traders to enter orders in a single account, or to set up individual accounts for traders or strategies with separate credit limits. We offer the flexibility of trade execution, clearing and prime broker services all within the same account.

  • May add sub accounts at any time through Account Management to switch into a Separate Trading Limit Account Structure.
