Professional Trading Solutions

Founded by professional traders, Great Point has been serving this community for over twenty years.

Professional Services
for the Active Trader

Our mission is to find great traders and give them the tools to be successful.

Specializing in equities and equity options, our 100+ proprietary traders actively trade the firm’s capital. We bring the same professional service, technology and execution to our retail customers who choose to trade their own accounts.

Technology

Professional traders require professional grade software. Takion is the newest trading platform, built by traders to meet the demanding needs of active traders.

Takion only partners with prop trading firms that have the infrastructure and personnel to support it, and Great Point is one of the few firms with the expertise to take full advantage of its capabilities.

Trade by hand or develop an automated strategy. The choice is yours.

Capital

With one of the largest capital bases among prop trading firms, Great Point can provide the resources for you to make the most of your trading. Proprietary traders using the company’s capital have always been the backbone of Great Point.

Stock Loan

Our clearing firm, Wedbush, has one of the largest lists of easy-to-borrow stocks on the street, and we partner with other firms that specialize in finding hard-to-borrow names to give you the widest selection of stocks to trade.

Environment & Culture

As a Great Point trader, you will be working with some of the most experienced trading professionals in the industry.

Come join us and you will be a part of an extraordinary firm with the culture and resources inherent and imbued in our holistic wealth management, investment banking and capital market services.

Flexibility

Trade in our offices in Chicago or Austin, or remotely from anywhere with internet access.

Payouts & Benefits

In addition to aggressive payouts, Great Point offers its registered proprietary traders access to our group health care plan through BlueCross BlueShield.

Disclaimers

A candidate’s trading history should reflect consistent gains, even if they are small. Proven discipline and knowledge are the key attributes.

Since Great Point is a member of FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), traders must pass the Series 57 Securities Trader Examination to qualify. Great Point Capital will sponsor qualified candidates for the exam, which is made up of 125 multiple choice questions and requires a 70% accuracy to pass. Also, a $10,000 capital contribution is required to start. Prop traders will operate as self-employed Class B LLC entities.
