Who We Are
ECHOtrade was founded in 1999 by a group of experienced traders who felt the professional trading community needed more choice. Their goal was to become an industry leader by providing reliable software geared towards speed of execution, lower cost transactions and higher payouts. They also set out to provide a level of customer service unmatched in the industry, to ensure that every trader who chooses ECHOtrade knows they are a valued member of the firm.
ECHOtrade maintains these values today, and continues to excel at meeting and exceeding the needs of the serious off-floor trader. As this industry evolves - rules and regulations change, technology gets more advanced, strategies diversify - we are committed to making sure that our traders have the ability to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
our traders
ECHOtrade has opportunities for every type of trader. The people who most commonly seek out our firm generally fall into one of the following categories:
Professional Off-Floor Traders - Experienced professional traders coming from another proprietary trading firm looking to take advantage of our low costs and lightning-fast executions.
Floor Traders - Traders who used to trade in the pits, former market makers, exchange seat-holders and former specialists appreciate the flexibility and control that trading with ECHOtrade offers.
Former Brokers/Financial Analysts - Traders who are looking to move away from trading customer accounts and cold-calling, who want to focus on their own trading and implement their own short-term trading strategies and ideas will find our structure appealing. Please see our FAQ section if you have an expired Series 7 license...we may have an opportunity for you!
Retail Traders - While ECHOtrade does not accommodate retail accounts, traders seeking to take their retail trading to the next level should consider going professional. Gain access to firm capital intraday, faster executions and lower costs. A Series 7 is required; ECHOtrade will sponsor eligible candidates for the Series 7 exam.
Locations
The appeal of being a professional trader is that you can do it from virtually anywhere in the world. Whether you are seeking an office in the heart of New York City, or trading from the comforts of your own home, we offer both options.
Remote Traders - As high-speed internet connections have become far-reaching and more reliable, there has been a huge movement towards remote trading. Trading from home can be the ideal scenario for many traders, is often more cost-effective and offers the maximum flexibility for travel and outside responsibilities. ECHOtrade is a leader in creating an advanced support system for remote traders.
Office Traders - Remote trading is not for everyone; some traders prefer the structure and atmosphere of an office environment. As such, ECHOtrade maintains locations near major exchanges to suit the needs of the serious office trader. We have offices across the U.S., including New York, Chicago, Phoenix, Boca Raton, FL, and other satellite offices.
Expansion - If you have stock market and managerial experience, we want you to be a part of our growth. ECHOtrade is actively looking for new opportunities in all parts of the world. If you are interested in opening a branch office or managing a future location, please Contact Us.
