02. — History
From humble
beginnings to
great ambitions
Solid was founded in 2009, by two young but experienced algorithmic traders, with extensive knowledge of both the FX market and HFT technologies. Rather than continuing to work for large, impersonal firms, they decided to start a boutique trading house focused on quality and performance. Solid would not just provide liquidity to the market, but also provide the personal and tailored services that finance professionals require.
Since then, the company has continued to grow into a tightly-knit team of experts in trading and technology. In the Solid office in Purmerend (just outside of Amsterdam), two things are paramount: firstly, helping our clients achieve business success and secondly, making sure the process is straightforward and enjoyable for all parties involved.
