NorthPoint Trading Partners Selects Trade-Ideas’ Idea Generation
Technology to Deliver Advanced Analytics to Hedge Fund Clients
ATLANTA, GA — NorthPoint Trading Partners LLC, a premier
institutional brokerage and fund services company, today announced its selection
of Trade-Ideas Pro as its advanced analytics provider. As a result NorthPoint
Trading Partners’ services now include Trade-Ideas, the premier tool for
idea generation technology and real-time analytics of the markets, as part of
its suite of tools delivered to their hedge fund, institutional, and active trader
clients.
“The advanced analytics, real-time idea generation, and backtesting tools
at Trade- Ideas level the playing field for our clients vs. larger, more capitalized
participants and provide access to opportunities previously unseen. We understand
how Trade-Ideas Pro improves performance. Using it convinced us that our clients
need it as well – that’s why we’re giving it to them as part
of our service offering,” said Douglas Nelson, Chief Executive Officer
of NorthPoint Trading Parnters LLC.
Some of the technical indicators produced by Trade-Ideas include unusual Relative
Volume and Volatility; Moving Average Crossovers and Breakouts; False Gap Retracements;
and Strong Momentum.
“We are excited about our partnership with NorthPoint Trading Partners,
LLC. NorthPoint offers a premier trading and Prime Brokerage platform geared
toward small and mid-sized hedge funds. The majority of their clients are focused
on long/short equities and equity options. One of the ways they distinguish themselves
from other service providers is to offer high-touch, low cost services and analytic
tools. Trade- Ideas is a great compliment to the Redi-PLUS platform provided
by Goldman Sachs Execution and Clearing (GSEC) due, in part, to its ability to
link directly to existing charts and order entry windows in Redi-PLUS,” said
David Aferiat, Managing Partner of Trade Ideas LLC.
Trade-Ideas provides access to detailed information on more then 10,000 stocks,
ETFs, indices, and future contracts on all the North American exchanges. For
a free demonstration of Trade-Ideas, please contact a
