The main difference between the quantitative and the discretionary trading style is the systematic nature of the quant approach. While discretionary traders are like artists, quants tend to run a complex production process, and therefore need an industrial-strength infrastructure without which they cannot maintain the necessary degree of systematic discipline. Unfortunately, being a start-up does not exempt one from this rule. But fortunately, one does not really need to build the whole factory from the ground up. Using the SmartQuant Algo trading infrastructure allows the emerging managers to focus on their primary objective, which is the development of investment strategies while benefiting from a reliable framework to implement and deploy them in the market.
Sure, we still spend a lot of time experimenting, trying and testing different strategies. Having a good development environment does not necessarily allow you to skip that step. The real advantage of a well-designed framework is in cutting the time between testing and production to a minimum and in the scalable nature of the infrastructure, which can grow with the firm from managing a small seed capital to truly institutional levels. With a system like this, emerging managers can feel on a level playing field while trading in the same market as much larger competitors, and can fully realize the inherent advantages of being agile and adaptive.

 ITG Futures and/or our Clearing FCMs maintain the right to liquidate any position at any time if a margin call and/or deficit occurs.

We will make our best efforts to contact customers to address margin call depending on the severity of the call. Accounts that are subject to margin calls may experience higher commissions due to increased risk. Specific day trading margins from select FCMs that are well below average rates may subject you to much higher fees than provided above. Contracts with relatively low liquidity may subject you to additional fees
