A leading proprietary trading firm based in Chicago, IL.

Belvedere Trading is a leading proprietary trading firm that specializes in equity index and commodity derivatives. Our technology and trading experts collaborate to develop and enhance Belvedere’s high-performance, low-latency proprietary technology. We are always looking for the best and brightest talent to help us in our continued success.

In March of 2002, Belvedere Trading emerged as Chicago’s newest market maker, soon to join the ranks of the Windy City’s elite proprietary trading firms. Armed with printouts of Excel workbooks and a team of eager minds, Belvedere established their place in the SPX pit on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange.

From the beginning, we began iteratively investing in our proprietary technology, first building our options model, then adapting it to work on a handheld computer, then committing to building our software systems from the ground up. Due to our ultramodern proprietary technology and risk management capabilities, Belvedere is able to quickly capitalize on inefficiencies in the marketplace. Our trading models and software systems are continually re-engineered, optimized, and maintained to stay on top of the industry.
