Robert Merrilees founded Spot Trading in 1999. From an original team of five, Spot has grown to a vibrant and diverse organization of dedicated professionals. Camaraderie, discipline, intelligence and adaptability have defined the firm since its inception, and will continue to do so in the future.
In 2006, Spot moved its operations to a newly designed, state-of-the art trading space in the center of Chicago's financial district. This move reflects both the strength of our business and the scope of our aspirations. Over the years Spot has leveraged its strengths and expanded its core expertise to generate remarkable growth. We see the future as one of continued opportunity, as we unite an experienced team of traders and analysts with leading technology and unparalleled operational support.
