About

The Meaning Behind Scalp Trade

Scalp Trade was founded on family values, and the name originates from the Founder, Stanley Awdisho, his wife and three childern. The letters in SCALP come from the first letter of each member's name to remind employees that SCALP is a family. With these values embedded in our name, team members are reminded that they will always have a home here at SCALP Trade.

Our Culture

The Scalp Trade team is built on the foundation of collaboration, diversity and innovation; we work hard to foster a culture that our team truly enjoys. We value critical thinkers, who are adept at deep problem solving, and can endure a fast paced environment.

While we are committed to critical thinking, we want more than a degree. We focus on the intangibles; we embrace individuals with grit, self-motivation, and those with the desire to experience and tackle the most difficult obstacles.

Scalp operates on the premise of the market, meaning that we believe in the creation of jobs, and capital formation through a well regulated capital market structure. This belief helps to drive our design, implementation and execution of our trading decisions.

What we do

Scalp's primary focus is trading equities, equity options, and futures. We aim to better the market through tighter spreads and providing liquidity to all market participants. Our appetite for new assets and different markets continues to grow and Scalp will continue expanding in the future.

One thing that makes Scalp stand out among other companies is the work culture: The employees at Scalp are a community of people all working together for the benefit of the collective. There is no competing, and the person sitting next to you is happy to help you when you need it!
