Built on conviction. Driven by rigor.
RGH Trading is an independent proprietary trading firm based in the Chicago metropolitan area.
We research, test and trade.
We put our own capital behind research-driven views in listed equities and options, futures, and event-contract markets.
Our work begins with a clear question about how a market behaves. We use data to test the idea, examine how it can be traded in practice, and decide whether the opportunity warrants the risk.
A FOCUSED MANDATE
Because we trade only firm capital, the objective remains straightforward: make disciplined decisions, manage downside and let evidence—not activity—drive participation.
Rigor at every stage.
Good ideas are only useful when they survive testing, execution and changing market conditions.
- 01
Evidence before conviction
A thesis must be supported by data, not narrative alone.
- 02
Risk before return
Downside, liquidity and position size are part of the idea from the start.
- 03
Execution matters
The difference between a model and a trade lives in cost, timing and market structure.
- 04
Stay adaptive
Markets change. Assumptions must be tested continuously and revised without attachment.
