DRW Trading

January 13th, 2011, 1:10 am

DRW Trading seems to have grown quite a bit in the last few years. How much of their profits come from high frequency? I thought they made most of their money trading on the floors, but I came across an article that put them in the same high frequency echelon as Citadel and Getco. Is this true or was the author misled?

They make OTC and electronic markets across assets around the clock, on par w/ Chicago Trading Co., Infinium Capital, etc. I would not put them in same niche as Citadel or Getco.
