The WallachBeth Option Desk is the right option for a vast majority of trading market professionals who, in the course of executing sophisticated strategies, seek connectivity to major liquidity centers, principal option market-makers, facilitation and prop trading desks at major broker-dealers, and/or sophisticated hedge funds.
For those that weigh listed and OTC option market experience as the deciding factor when selecting which broker to entrust with the execution of complex option strategies, each of our Managing Directors has no less than 20 years experience. Collectively, we’ve served as prop traders, market-makers, major exchange floor brokers and “upstairs” institutional brokers, including senior roles for the world’s leading banks and inter-dealer brokers.
Several of us, including the firm’s two principals, began their option trading and broking careers in the early 1980’s, and have been instrumental in the design of electronic option markets and the development of a range of listed and OTC option and index-related products.
Few, if any, option market brokers surpass our ability to thoughtfully and discretely administer the most challenging market-sensitive orders. We outcompete because we’re fluent in option market dynamics, the broad array of option-centric hedging and arbitrage strategies, and the nuances of trading system technology.
Some think that we’ve forgotten what many option traders and brokers will never learn. That’s simply not true.
