Jake Reynolds

Congratulations to Mr. Jake Reynolds on successfully forming the independent trading team at the Chicago branch, expanding the base of high net worth VIP members, and welcoming more investors to join the online WhatsApp trading strategy group.
Jake Reynolds, 58, currently resides in the affluent Highland Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. He has been deeply engaged in quantitative trading and securities analysis for over 30 years. As a senior securities analyst and head of the quantitative trading room at Susquehanna International Group’s Chicago branch, he integrates market-making quote systems, liquidity modeling, and machine learning technologies to lead the development of multiple high-frequency arbitrage and event-driven strategies. He is recognized as an “Institutional Alpha Strategy Architect.”

His trading system centers on a three-dimensional analytical framework of “liquidity–volatility–trade structure,” enabling precise detection of abnormal shifts in order flow distribution. He has won multiple prestigious industry awards, including three “Best Institutional Trading Strategy Awards” and the “High-Frequency Trading Stability Research Award.” He also holds top-level certifications including CFA and FINRA Series 7/24/55 licenses.
