Futures First

Futures First runs a global listed-derivatives operation almost entirely out of India, an unusual base for a book that trades nearly around the clock on more than nineteen exchanges from Chicago and London to Tokyo and Sao Paulo. Part of the Hertshten Group, it blends trader discretion with systematic analysis and live risk management.

The firm spreads its desks across several Indian cities under the Hertshten Group umbrella, from its Gurugram headquarters outward, making it one of the largest India-domiciled prop trading organizations anywhere. Its proprietary market-data infrastructure is engineered to ingest millions of events per second with live-condition simulation.
