                              PPP’s – Private Placement Programs & Trade Platforms

​

Trading Platforms are pools of capital that invest in a wide variety of financial instruments including pension funds, stocks, bonds, commodities, ETF’s and foreign exchange.  These pools of capital are in a number of legal entities.  PPP’s are not offered to the general public.  They are private, offerings of interest to select investors who meet certain financial requirements.  PPP's provide the Trade Platform Managers and Platform Traders in which to obtain results for the investors and give enough period of time to allow a particular trading strategy time to mature.  There is no such thing as free money and trading involves risk.  However, Platform Traders at the very top of their peers are rewarded with staggering wealth.  Many strategies are utilized like macro analysis, price theory, fundamental analysis, value analysis and other strategies.

​

Most Platform Traders today have advance formal education and training in mathematics, probabilities, physics, computer science, economics, and engineering.  Trade rooms are busy computer driven laboratories and are like think tanks.  Trades are usually input and matched up by sophisticated software.  Private Placement Programmers of software are essential and indispensable to successful PPP’s.

​

The New York Stock Exchange & Euronext (NYSE) is the most well known trading platform in the world.  The NYSE, CME, NYMEX, ICE, CBOE and NASDAQ are the largest U.S. exchanges.  In Europe, the London Stock Exchange (LSE), Euronext and Frankfort Exchange are the largest. 

​

In commodities much of the execution is done on the Globex, an electronic exchange.  Platform Traders use the exchanges to buy and sell trillions of dollars or euros with stocks, bonds, pension fund investments, currencies, gold, oil, CMO’s, ETF’s and hundreds of other securities, currencies and derivatives in efforts to make profits for themselves and investors.  Other PPP’s use writing options, writing straddles, strangles, butterflies and condors.  Option strategies may quickly become extremely complex and are a highly specialized area of trading which requires extraordinary expertise.

​

Future Commission Merchants (FCM’s) solicits or accepts orders to buy or sell future contracts, options on futures, retail off-exchange forex and many other financial strategies.  Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, ABN AMRO, MF Global, JP Morgan Chase, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America are all FCM’s.  There are many more throughout the world that follow all U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, Anti-Money Laundering Rules and all World Bank, Central Banking laws and regulations. 

 

These companies handle trades for independent Trade Platforms for many years, have had their own internal proprietary trading desk(s) or Trade Platforms.  Some of these trade desks are famous such as Goldman’s Alpha Fund, Morgan Stanley’s PDT (Process Driven Trading) Platform and Deutsche Bank’s legendary Trading Program.

​

The new regulatory environment is forcing many of the banks to divest themselves of proprietary Trading Platforms, creating a large talent pool comprising the best and brightest traders available for high level international PPP’s, Private Hedge Funds and Trading Platforms.

​

PPP’s and related platforms often utilize notionalization or notional funding to increase the leverage that the Trade Platforms may use.  PPP’s may leverage its trading capital as much as ten times, meaning that One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) may be traded as if it was One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000) of leverage, while giving the ability to greatly increase the returns or loss.  Notionalization absolutely must be constantly monitored and adjusted, depending on margin requirements and market conditions.  The PPP Managers have investment committees that are responsible for determining notional trading levels.  Notionalization is a immensely powerful tool for the PPP Trading Platforms.

​

The minimum investment for PPP’s can be high, usually One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) and the reward can be great, great enough to easily justify the investment and risk for one who has the means with which to get involved in such an investment.
