Overview
Trillium Trading is a proprietary trading firm active in US, Canadian, and OTC equities. Its core activity is trading using in-house developed technology, tested and optimized by its engineers in collaboration with traders to create tools that support fast, informed decisions in the markets. The company’s products are trading workflows and software that help traders execute and manage strategies efficiently, rather than consumer-facing software. What sets Trillium apart is its combination of long-term experience (a 20-year track record of growth and profitability), in-house, engineer-trader collaboration, multiple trading floors, and a culture of problem-solving and independent thinking. The firm also emphasizes social impact through its philanthropic initiative, Trillium Cares, which funds education, social equity, and humanitarian aid. The goal is to seize market opportunities and grow profitability while giving back to communities.
