Trading Machines

Trading Machines LLC is a proprietary high-frequency options and equities trading firm, founded around 2007 and headquartered in New York City, and registered as a broker-dealer with FINRA (CRD 146274). The firm traded on its own account, at one point reportedly executing a meaningful share of daily US options volume using low-latency, algorithmic and automated trading technology. As a proprietary trading firm it operates for its own book rather than offering a public developer product, and it surfaced in the API Evangelist network only as a Battery Ventures portfolio lead. Research during enrichment found no public API, developer portal, OpenAPI/AsyncAPI specification, SDKs, or other machine-readable developer surface to catalog.

Trading Machines is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Finance, Trading, Options, and High Frequency Trading.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
