What We Do
We’re Pinely, an algorithmic trading firm, privately owned and funded. As a proprietary trading firm, we’re not using capital from clients or external investors to trade. That makes all of Pinely ours: our ideas, our money, our technology. All built and thought out by our people. We trade on the world’s financial markets using our in-house developed research and technology. Most of our strategies are based on HFT (High Frequency Trading) algorithms and depend on our ultra-low latency networks to operate optimally. Active in various financial markets and products, the Pinely family consists of several firms and offices in Singapore, Cyprus and the Netherlands, sharing the same base technology. Every day, we put our algorithmic research and technology to the test. Every day, we face the world’s financial markets with our money on the line. And every day, we come out on top. That’s because we’re driven by the best researchers and powered by the best technologists. But most of all, it’s because we love what we do!
