The Seven Arms

Each arm has its own role inside the exchange. Excluding FPGA, every team trades on QTE itself - market makers quote, market takers hunt, Fundamentals pods build theses, and the Execution Arm unwinds the large orders they generate.

Market Making

Continuous two-sided quoting across the exchange's assets.

5 teams →

Market Taking

Hunting for short to medium-term alpha across the markets.

Options

Market making and taking on single stock options.

6 teams →

Fundamentals

Hedge-fund style pods running longer-term, thesis-driven strategies.

8 teams →

Execution

Bidding on, then unwinding, large Fundamentals Arm orders.

FPGA

Hardware-accelerated trading and matching, separate from the main exchange for 2026-27.
