Blackwater: Particpating In The Best Moves

摘要

Jeff Austin, principal of BlackwaterCapital Management, started working on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1994 handling CTA business for Dean Witter. After a stop at Chicago-based Rotella Capital he went on to Eagle Trading Systems in Princeton N.J. where he was able to start working on system development. At Eagle he would meet future partner Andy Silwanowicz. Andy traded spot forex and forex options prior to going to Eagle. The two developed a trading philosophy while at Eagle so when they left to go out on their own they were ready. "We knew exactly what we wanted to do so it wasn't a long time between leaving Eagle and us cranking up the system," Austin says.
