Spire Trading corporation was founded in 2008 with a focus on trading options and futures on equity indexes.  The firm's trading philosophy is based on the following principles:
  • technical analysis
  • technology
  • commitment of capital
  • fundamental analysis
Technical Analysis

Our traders employ technical analysis to identify opportunities and timing of trends, while always keeping an eye on macroeconomic developments which might contraindicate a trade signal.  We are always looking for new signals and indicators to gain an edge on the timing of a trade.

Technology

Spire Trading invests in technology primarily as a foundation for trading success.  Our office will soon be upgraded to a fiber optic connection to ensure fast connections market data feeds, and we upgrade our computers to maintain responsiveness as the complexity of options and trade analytics has increased.  Spire Trading is committed to staying on the cutting edge of trading technology as we grow in size and trade complexity.

Commitment of Capital

We always back our traders with adequate capital to ensure success in whatever product or market they are trading.  We do not employ "bright line" capital limits.  Instead, the firm will review a trade and allocate more resources to the trader if necessary.

Fundamental Analysis

Spire Trading has recently begun analyzing companies and market sectors to identify value for longer term trade ideas.  We take a value perspective when valuing companies and markets, always looking for stocks or products trading at unreasonable levels based on a conservative valuation.  


Our office is located in the Smurfit-Stone building in Chicago, Illinois.
