Qvara - Our Story
In the volatile world of futures and options trading, managing risk and maintaining precise positions isn't just a necessity—it's the key to survival. Our story began with a shared frustration, felt by a group of seasoned market professionals who have seen it all. With over 100 years of combined experience, we’ve spent decades navigating the complexities of financial markets, trading on the front lines, and managing risk at levels where even the slightest miscalculation could mean disaster. But time and again, we found ourselves hampered by the very tools that were supposed to help us.
Position and risk management software was often clunky, outdated, or simply unfit for the rapid pace and precision that modern trading demands. Instead of empowering us, these tools were holding us back. That’s when we realized: if the tools didn’t exist, we had to create them ourselves. With this vision in mind, we set out to build the software we always wished we had.
Having the vision and ideas was just the beginning. We knew that to truly revolutionize the industry, we needed to assemble a team as passionate and forward-thinking as our mission. We brought together not only industry veterans but also young, brilliant minds whose creativity and technical expertise could turn our ideas into reality. This fusion of experience and innovation is the heartbeat of our company. Our guiding principles are simple but powerful. We are forward-thinking, always anticipating the needs of traders in an ever-evolving market.
We are trader-focused, designing our software with the user in mind, ensuring that every feature adds value and efficiency. We are driven by a passion and love for what we do, and we approach our work with an unwavering commitment to integrity. As we look to the future, our vision is clear: to set a new standard for position and risk management software, empowering traders to navigate the markets with confidence and precision. We're not just building tools; we're crafting the future of trading.
