Hull Trading Company is an independent algorithmic trading firm and legendary option market maker known for its quantitative and technology-based trading strategy. The goal of this remarkable technological firepower is simple: not to take big risks but to find sure things. Hull's computers search the markets for temporary price imperfections, devise transactions to profit from the imperfections, and hedge those bets to protect against other risks. In 1999, the firm was sold to Goldman Sachs for $531 million.
