“Trading is just as much about the art as it is the science.
We know the science but we’re masters of the art”

Algorithmic Trading
Gelber’s algorithmic trading strategies (ATS) seek predictable and repeatable behavior in the financial markets and formalize logic to capitalize on such behavior. Our unique approach to algorithmic trading places focus on strategic partnerships where researchers, engineers and traders collaborate to develop and optimize strategies together. We nurture individual growth by tearing down traditional role barriers and encourage participation at every stage of strategy development. As with discretionary trading, our algorithmic trading business is composed of a diverse set of trading styles and we participate in a wide range of asset classes. We favor latency-insensitive strategies with greater focus on understanding and taking risk. Our proprietary technology infrastructure provides excellent access to the electronic markets and myriad tools to ease the development of algorithmic trading strategies, enabling us to bring ideas to market quickly and reliably.
