Deploy a Trading Strategy

BTR specializes in executing systematic strategies across global futures markets — one you find, one you already run, or one built for you.

Access Managed Futures

Managed futures trade a different opportunity set than stocks and bonds — long and short, across currencies, rates, energy, metals and agriculture.

  • Match your mandate to a Commodity Trading Advisor
  • Build a bespoke portfolio across multiple advisors
  • Hold positions in tax-advantaged and entity accounts
  • Track allocations and results in real time

Trade on Your Own

The same platforms, routing and clearing relationships the professional desks use — without the professional desk overhead.

  • Trade on CQG, Rithmic, TT, Sierra Chart, TradingView or MultiCharts
  • Direct market access with transparent, negotiated commissions
  • Charting, DOM and order types that hold up under load
  • A broker who picks up the phone while the session is open

For CTAs, Funds, Brokers & Prop Desks

Execution infrastructure that doesn’t make you rebuild your stack

BTR supports multi-broker configurations, algorithmic routing and specialized clearing. We work with proprietary groups, family offices, emerging CTAs and established managers who need their execution to stay boring.

Hosted Strategy Execution

Colocated and proximity servers, monitored while the markets are open. Failover you should never have to think about.

Give-ups & Clearing

Multiple clearing agreements in place. Give-up arrangements at the FCM of your choosing.

Custom Programming

Strategy development, API integration and order-routing logic built to your specification.

Custom Reporting

Position, P&L and allocation reporting in the format your allocators actually ask for.

Diversify with Alternatives

Most portfolios own the same two things

Stocks and bonds have a habit of moving together exactly when an allocator would prefer they didn’t. Managed futures trade a different opportunity set — currencies, interest rates, energy, metals and agriculture — and can be positioned long or short.

  • Programs screened and matched to your mandate, time horizon and risk tolerance
  • Direct relationships with the trading advisors, not a repackaged product
  • Entity, retirement and notionally funded account structures where appropriate
  • Consolidated reporting across every advisor in the sleeve

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Managed futures are speculative, involve a substantial risk of loss and are not suitable for all investors.
