The Chicago summer is in the back nine, but golf season is still in full swing. After all the strokes were tallied at the Trading Technologies golf outing at Chicago’s own Ridgemoor Country Club, I had the privilege of sitting down over a pint at the 19th hole with industry veteran Carl Gilmore, co-head of futures for Wedbush Futures.

We had a lot to discuss as the futures division of Wedbush is not quite a year old and recently made the new TT trading platform available to their clients. And while we debated the likes of Rory McIlroy or Jordan Spieth and forecasted the future of Tiger, we also talked a little business and exchanged perspectives on the markets.

I summarized our conversation for this blog post. It’s a great opportunity for Trade Talk readers to learn a bit more about Wedbush Futures, garner insights about the current low interest rate environment and understand why Wedbush chose to be an early adopter of our new platform.
