Our software is meant to be an extension of our traders. We aim to provide a seamless way to interpret real-time data and intuitive, highly responsive tools to control our trading systems.

We are driven to create applications that perform best when under stress—this means high-performance networking, processing and graphics. Trading Tools is looking for exceptional developers looking to build simple solutions to complex full-stack problems.
