Company mission
To remain at the forefront of the industry by always focusing on innovation, automation and data-driven analysis.
Our take
Simplex Trading is a technology-driven, proprietary trading firm. Founded in 2004, the company has successfully stayed at the front of the industry through its three-pronged focus on technology, trading and team.
This approach sees Simplex invest in building proprietary software which can both create and capitalize on opportunity, optimize trading strategies for existing markets, and leverage its team of technologists and data-driven traders to solve new puzzles as they arise.
This strong and defined strategy should enable Simplex Trading to remain an innovator in the space and secure its continued success down the road.
