Jump Trading started in Chicago in 1999 as a proprietary trading firm. It trades its own capital using algorithmic and high frequency strategies across futures, options, equities, and crypto markets, and does not open accounts for everyday retail traders.
The firm registers its broker dealer business as Jump Trading, LLC, a Delaware company formed in 2008, listed with FINRA under CRD number 106124 and also registered with the SEC. Ownership sits mostly with Jump Trading Holdings, LLC, and the firm belongs to 21 self regulatory organizations tied to the exchanges it trades on.
FINRA BrokerCheck lists 15 regulatory disclosure events for the firm. One example is a 2019 NYSE Chicago case, where a coding error in one of its algorithms pushed the firm below required net capital levels in May 2018. NYSE Chicago censured the firm and fined it 250,000 dollars. Jump Trading is not currently suspended by any regulator.
