Exclusive: A Year in Review and Look Ahead from Canada’s Online Brokerages

Jitneytrade

Despite the unbelievable strength of the US equity markets combined with international uncertainty and low volatility, 2014 was, in general, a quiet year for traders. Lower volatility made it harder for Jitneytrade’s clients to partake as they usually would. But on the other hand, Jitneytrade took the opportunity of the slower markets to attract new clients that were looking for tailor made solutions and better cost structures.

That being said, we still had nice moves in the interest rate futures market, beating volume records in 2014. Jitneytrade is still ranked #1 in BAX contracts on the Montréal exchange and #2 overall in volume for 2014. We are very proud of this accomplishment and look forward to repeating next year.

We worked tirelessly on upgrading our processes and make sure our clients always benefit from cutting edge technology especially in this nanosecond world we live in. We effectively rolled out new ways for our clients to retrieve historical information/data and therefore make the Jitneytrade experience more user friendly. We expect more of the same in 2015 on that front. We have also launched key partnerships in 2014 with the likes of eSignal and Wizetrade to name a few; we have implemented full trading integration for both these products and offer them directly to our clients. Clients can use them as a trading tool or complimentary to their trading software. On the education/information front, we are proud to have partnered with revolutionarytrading.com and optionsplay.com , both leaders in their respective spaces.

For 2015 Jitneytrade will roll out a new upgraded version of their web trader consolidating all of Jitneytrade’s services into one stop, clients will be able to trade and retrieve all their data from the same place, we expect this in Q1 of the new year. And we will continue to maintain/upgrade our framework to align with the ever changing Canadian marketplace landscape.
