Sun Trader Acquires Toro Trading
Founded in 2006, Sun Trader is already an active trader in the Asian markets from Chicago and London, but the acquisition expands its reach to the Far East. And the company says it doesn’t rule out further acquisitions. After the merger, the combined firm will have a total staff of 86 people in Chicago, 21 in London and 11 in New York.

Toro Trading
Sun Holdings has agreed to acquire Toro Trading, an options trading firm. The deal will allow Toro to expand its trading capabilities, access new capital, and put more trading strategies into production. Both Toro and Sun are proprietary trading firms, which utilize computerized trading strategies to make money in the market. The companies plan to close the deal on Aug. 30.
Toro Trading uses the CopyTrader system, which enables users to mirror the moves of other investors and traders. They are also able to set stop-loss levels to prevent losses. The platform currently offers copy trading in crypto only, but it plans to expand into stocks and ETFs soon.
Diversification
Diversification is important to ensure that you’re getting the most value from your investments. Diversification can take place on several different levels, depending on the type of investment you choose to make. The most popular form of diversification involves trading in different currencies. For example, you might diversify your investment portfolio by buying and selling bonds of different countries. Other forms of diversification may involve trading in securities.
In addition to reducing the risk of loss, diversification can also help you protect your investments in case of a market shift. A sudden change in the market cycle can cause stocks to drop dramatically. Diversification allows you to protect your investments without reducing the expected return.
Alpha generation
Alpha generation platforms differ from low latency algorithmic trading systems in that they focus more on research and quantitative investment strategies, and do not allow rapid trading. Some of them will even allow analysts to take their strategies to market, but most will focus solely on research. There are some downsides to alpha generation platforms, however.
Alpha generation occurs when a trader generates more returns than the market expects it to. It can be measured as excess returns over the capital market line or efficient frontier. In modern portfolio theory, alpha generation is possible by expanding the investable universe. Alpha can be achieved by investing in a wide variety of securities, including foreign stocks, derivative products, and hedge funds. New alpha generators can be created as investments expand into new categories and riskier sectors.
