About FuturePath Trading
FuturePath Trading® offers state-of-the-art, one-stop shopping for the 21st Century Global Futures Trading Community. Our management team consists of professionals who have been in the industry since 1978. We were one of the first to use the Globex trading platform when electronic trading was in its infancy, as well as to write our own trading platform. Two of the three founding members were on the trading floor well before the SP futures were even listed. One of the founding partners was an industry pioneer in high frequency trading. FPT's infrastructure was written to the highest specs. Our managing director is one of the industry's most highly respected CTA's.
The founders of FuturePath started the firm in 1996 to facilitate high end exchange execution. As the trend towards electronic trading increased, the first Photon beta was released in 2001. The firm was officially renamed FuturePath Trading in 2002.
The all-new PhotonTrader, Photon API, and Photon Networking Solution provide a comprehensive, efficient and tech savvy trading experience to our clients. A firm or individual seeking a fast and reliable trading platform that offers one-click execution, customizable features, global reach, a customizable API that interacts with multi-lingual trading systems, and end-to-end high speed networking, need look no further than FuturePath. This means less hassle. Time saved. Greater focus. Faster execution.
FuturePath® has an eye on what’s in store for the global trading community; therefore, we have put into place personnel and back-end infrastructure that anticipates, creates, and quickly adapts to future trends. Our emphasis on R&D as well as our back-end efficiency and stability enable us to stay ahead of the competition in a quickly transforming marketplace. As traders ourselves, we understand the importance of having state-of-the-art technology at one’s fingertips.
