We’re happy to feature a long-time user of Trading Technologies software in this edition of our “5 Questions with…” blog series. Kevin Muir has used TT on three fronts: as an institutional sell-side broker, as a prop trader managing his own account and now as a fund manager.
Kevin is the author of The MacroTourist blog. His tagline is “all I bring to the party is 25 years of mistakes,” and he offers a different take on financial newsletter writing by presenting it in a fun and unique style.
On May 30, we announced the availability of RCM-X execution algorithm strategies on the TT platform. We sat down with Joseph Signorelli, founder and managing partner of RCM-X, to learn more about the company and their offering.
Prior to forming RCM-X, the technology and execution division of RCM Alternatives, Joe served as a managing director and head of futures for Wedbush Futures. He previously served as managing partner of Wedbush Market Neutral Hedge Fund.
Merritt Black trades for SMB Capital in New York, where he is focused on expanding the futures trading desk. As part of a new program, Merritt will be training new traders and assessing their skills. Our advanced risk administration tools, Trader Analytics and our premier trading simulation functionality are among the features that led SMB to choose the TT platform.
Michael Creadon is CEO at 4Rev, an independent research and analysis firm that focuses on cryptocurrencies. He previously served as CEO of Traditum, a Chicago-based proprietary trading firm that specialized in yield curve trading on the CME Group.
GIven our recently announced partnership with Coinbase’s GDAX exchange and the growing demand for cryptocurrency trading—not just among our traditional professional customers, but among investors in general—we thought it would be interesting to get Mike’s point of view on this market. He has a background that goes beyond trading and includes having worked as a journalist at Bloomberg, TIME Magazine and Voice of America Radio as well as serving in the United States Peace Corps in Namibia.
We had a chance to hear Denise Shull on an episode of Futures Radio Show and were fascinated by her story and her job working with traders. So we decided to get with her one-on-one.
As a decision coach and performance architect, Denise leverages her training in psychological science to solve the challenges of mental mistakes, confidence crises and slumps in Olympic athletes and Wall Street traders. Denise is known for her uncanny effectiveness in coaching, training and assessing for the X factor of human performance under pressure.
