About — River North Trading

Overview

Who we are

River North Trading is a proprietary trading firm based in Denver, Colorado. We deploy systematic, technology-driven strategies across a range of modern market venues — seeking to identify and capture structural inefficiencies with precision, speed, and discipline.

We operate with a lean organizational structure that prioritizes conviction over consensus and execution over deliberation. Our team brings together deep quantitative expertise and practical market knowledge, enabling us to move quickly from research insight to live deployment.

Approach

How we think about markets

Markets are not static. Regulatory shifts, technological advances, and the emergence of new venues continuously reshape the landscape of opportunity. We believe the most durable edge comes from the ability to adapt — to recognize when conditions have changed and to respond with both speed and intellectual rigor.

Our research process is iterative and empirically grounded. We develop hypotheses about market behavior, test them against data, and refine our models continuously. Strategies that survive this process are deployed through robust, automated infrastructure designed for reliability and precision.

Principles

What guides our work

Intellectual honesty

We interrogate our assumptions rigorously and let data arbitrate disagreements. Strong opinions, loosely held.

Operational discipline

Robust systems, clear risk boundaries, and a deep respect for the asymmetry between the cost of a mistake and the value of an opportunity.

Continuous adaptation

We treat every strategy as provisional. Markets evolve, and so must the systems that participate in them.

Simplicity of structure

A lean team with minimal layers of decision-making. Speed and clarity compound over time.
