What about the firms that work in outsourcing either generic or value-added execution and liquidity systems. Groups like Capis (in Dallas) come to mind - they are an execution firm. AT Desk (in Mount Pleasant) was the same, but they were recently acquired (or invested in, about $60mm). Then...

Some very good info here - I especially agree with many of the points from GusTsahas. One thing I would definitely recommend is to keep a close eye on the market you want to trade. I have implemented automated systems in the equities market, and want to switch to the futures arena. For a few...
