Professional Trading Solutions
Professional Services for the Active Trader
Our mission is to find great traders and give them the tools to be successful.
Specializing in equities and equity options, our 100+ proprietary traders actively trade the firm’s capital. We bring the same professional service, technology and execution to our retail customers who choose to trade their own accounts.

Professional traders require professional grade software. Takion is the newest trading platform, built by traders to meet the demanding needs of active traders.
Takion only partners with prop trading firms that have the infrastructure and personnel to support it, and Great Point is one of the few firms with the expertise to take full advantage of its capabilities.
Trade by hand or develop an automated strategy. The choice is yours.
