About Us

Atto Trading is a multi-manager trading firm. We operate a portfolio of latency sensitive strategies in cash equities and futures leveraging our proprietary trading platform. We do not provide third parties access to our trading infrastructure.

With offices in New York & Kyiv, Atto has attracted a top-tier team of quant traders, portfolio managers, developers, and operational staff. After more than 12 years, we’re well established, still breaking our performance records, have become more experienced and we still haven’t lost our startup spirit.

For Atto, trading is a team sport. We know that it takes teamwork and relentless effort to beat the market year after year. We are successful because our exceptionally talented people work closely as a team to create flexible, tailored solutions to meet our trading needs.

High Frequency Trading (HFT) is one of the most technically demanding applications. We are always upgrading to the latest hardware. When market data changes, our system can react and make new orders in microseconds. Our decisions are based on analyzing huge data sets to determine when we have a statistical edge. We move towards our strategies being smart rather than just fast, so if you have an interest and skills in ML that would come handy.

We employ a transparent way of work in our team and value come forward mentality: don’t be afraid of voicing your ideas and doubts regarding how the things work, we’re always seeking ways to become better at what we do, and you’re always welcome to approach any of us to find an expert opinion on the problem you’re stuck with. We praise this attitude by providing a share of our trading profits reflecting your impact on the company’s performance.
