About Us

DV Trading is a leading proprietary trading firm that has been operating for over 15 years. Headquartered in Chicago, we have grown to over 450 employees across North America and Europe.

Since spinning out of a large brokerage firm in 2016, we have rapidly scaled as an independent firm, utilizing our own capital, trading strategies, and risk management methodologies to provide liquidity to global financial markets and hedging opportunities to commodity producers and users.

Our affiliates include two broker dealers, a cryptocurrency market making firm, and an investment adviser. DV Energy is a rapidly growing division that specializes in trading crude oil, refined products, natural gas, and related energy markets across the US, Europe, and Asia.

Our proprietary risk management and trading methodologies, combined with our ability to adapt to changing conditions, have enabled DV Energy to become one of the largest financial participants in the global energy complex.
