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.
