CTC equips its market makers to be among the most competitive liquidity
providers in the industry by combining extensive education with our
cutting edge trading applications and technology infrastructure. Our
global-book approach greatly enhances the ability of our market makers
to assess profit opportunities while avoiding excessive risk.
- Our market
makers have a unique vantage point by virtue of both a pit and
electronic presence.
- Our commitment
to a sophisticated technology infrastructure produces regular
enhancements to our industry-leading trading platform.
- By training
market makers to be future risk managers, CTC creates traders who
have the freedom and judgment to make market changing trades.
In today’s efficient environment, successful liquidity providers
must not only provide a narrow bid-ask spread (difference between bid
and offer), but must also support their market with depth (size of the
bid and offer). CTC market makers possess both the skills and tools
necessary to make such tight and deep markets, earning the firm a
reputation among the industry’s leading order flow providers as a
valuable trading partner as well as a leading information source.
- Real-time risk
assessment and modeling allows for incorporation of
moment-by-moment changes in the market conditions that affect
option valuations.
- Sophisticated
communication platforms allow our traders to see changes in market
conditions on a global basis.
- Our
comprehensive approach to index options allows CTC to make
transparent variance markets- a market not previously publicly
available.
