Why You Should Trade With Us
We take our commitment to provide a superior trading experience very seriously. That ongoing commitment is reflected in everything we do, and every strategic decision we make. We understand the importance of providing an incredibly fast, powerful, secure and state - of - the - art trading platform. We fully realize that every hundredth of a second counts, and we realize how important it is to make sure that you can trade when, how and where you want to.
We develop our own software, we maintain our own proprietary high speed communications network and support our own clearing operation -- all of which enables us to keep our costs low and our focus where it should be - serving you. Our development team remains focused on making sure our systems ensure full compliance with all pertinent rules and regulations while still aggressively pursuing each opportunity to add useful, customized features that optimize your ability to take advantage of trading opportunities. We want you to succeed and we will do everything in our power to enable you to.
We feel there are many compelling reasons why you should trade with us, some of which are detailed below. We encourage you to seek out those who trade with us today and ask them for their thoughts on what our firm is all about and how we have empowered them with trading tools to help them succeed. We firmly believe in the power of referrals. In some ways, traders who are already part of our trading community can often best summarize their reasons for choosing Assent LLC for their own trading needs, perhaps better than we can through this website!
Below is an October 2007 photo of just a small sampling of the many hardworking, dedicated Assent employees who look forward to providing you with a superior trading experience.
OUR UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO OFFER SUPERIOR TRADING SOFTWARE
Our superior trading platform and ongoing commitment to keep our trading systems state of the art will enable you to have the tools you need to succeed today and in the future. Our very powerful, feature - rich, multi - dimensional trading software allows you to be more effectively positioned to quickly take advantage of opportunities, especially those presenting themselves in very rapidly moving markets. Our dynamic profit and loss calculation modules allow you to very easily and in real time know where you stand with your realized and unrealized profit and loss, market exposure and available buying power among other important account statistics. In summary, you'll very easily and instantly know where you stand with your trading activity.
OUR TRADING SOFTWARE IS INCREDIBLY CUSTOMIZABLE
The degree to which you can customize our trading software enables you to be more fully in control of your trading activity. If there is a trading strategy you wish to execute, our software will optimize your ability to realize your objectives. If there is a particular hot key you wish to set up on your layout, our software will accommodate it. If there is an automated alert you wish to be reminded of, our software will be up to the task at hand. We encourage you to try out our ANVIL software, through a free evaluation period.
ASSENT TRADERS PLAY AN INFLUENTIAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
We value the collective expertise our traders contribute to our ongoing development initiatives. The Assent trading community plays a very influential role in the development process. We actively solicit their feedback and suggestions. There are no third parties we have to reach out to in order to enhance our trading software, and we remain committed to regularly enhancing our systems. We make "early release" versions of our planned enhancements available to certain traders so they can help finalize the quality assurance process that everyone in the Assent trading community benefits from.
OUR COMMISSION RATES AND PRICING ARE EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE
We know that traders place an emphasis on understanding, and minimizing the costs incurred in trading. We execute and self - clear all of the orders on behalf of our trading community. There are no third parties for us to negotiate special clearance deals with and we have the commitment and expertise to take care of these important arrangements ourselves. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not charge you an access fee to use our trading software, nor do we charge you a desk fee to occupy a trading station within one of our offices, nor do we charge you other miscellaneous fees that some of our competitors charge. We believe in the straightforward pricing model. We pass along to you only those market data - related fees for services you actually use, or the margin interest charges your account incurs for overnight positions you may choose to hold.
UNSURPASSED LEVELS OF ANONYMITY AND ACCESS TO ALL MAJOR LIQUIDITY POOLS
We have direct, secure and very fast connectivity to all of the major exchanges, ECNs and liquidity pools. Your orders will be entered on such venues with complete anonymity, and will benefit by our intelligent smart routers.
ASSENT PARTICIPATES IN ALL MAJOR MARKET CENTERS AND EXCHANGES
We directly participate in all major market centers and exchanges and offer our trading community a comprehensive and diverse range of avenues for intelligently routing many different types of orders. We would look forward to an opportunity to discuss with you how our extensive order routing capabilities can very effectively serve your trading needs.
WE OFFER THE UTMOST IN FLEXIBILITY IN TRADING LOCATIONS
We can provide you with the flexible trading environment you need. We know that each trader has their own perspective on what comprises the ideal trading environment. Some traders prefer being around and closely interacting with other like minded trading professionals, listening to audio feeds, watching market news programs in the presence of their associates in a relaxed, but focused office environment. We have many offices throughout the country where you can trade from, including those you can stop in at when you're nearby even if it's not your "regular location". Other traders prefer to trade from home or other "non - office" locations and if this environment suits your preferences, our secure remote trading platform will offer you all the powerful features that are available in our branch locations.
OUR CULTURE FOSTERS TRADING SUCCESS
Our firm was originally founded by traders, and is run by experienced professionals who understand the mindset of what it takes to be a successful trader. The environment that typically characterizes our branch locations is best described as relaxed and friendly. Collegial, yet professional. We encourage our associates to be innovative and pro-active in their approach to solving problems and responding to requests for assistance. If there's an issue, we resolve it as quickly as our resources allow. Our branch office managers, technicians, and our development and support professionals are encouraged to be receptive to the many creative ideas and innovative suggestions that our traders provide.
OUR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Assent LLC is proud to be part of the Trading Segment within the expansive, multi-faceted SunGard organization.

This enables us to make the decisions we need to make with the best interests of our trading community in mind, while simultaneously being able to call upon the many resources that SunGard itself and our sister companies within the Trading Segment can provide.
Our mission is to provide you with the tools needed for success, today, tomorrow and in the future.
