TradeMaven Group, LLC was formed in November 2005 and is the result of a merger between eLocal, LLC and TradeMaven, LLC.

ELocal was established and became a member of the NFA and registered with the CFTC in July 2000. It provides brokerage and clearing services to independent floor traders at the Chicago Board of Trade. The managing Partners of eLocal, Doug Zalesky and Jeff Ganis, have over 40 years of combined experience in servicing the needs of traders and both are 20 year members of the CBOT. Under their direction, eLocal expanded the operation to include electronic futures traders. eLocal was the first firm at the CBOT to offer a robust, reliable electronic network and infrastructure to the floor trader community. Shortly thereafter, eLocal offered the network to the direct access internet futures trader. eLocal quickly gained a reputation for exceptional, personalized, and dedicated customer support.

The unique and powerful TradeMaven trading software was originally developed as a volume analysis tool for the futures markets. As the electronic equity index futures (e-mini's) markets gained popularity the necessity for user-friendly order entry and management system was needed. TradeMaven was developed to bring "drag and Drop" features and "order bracketing" to a small group of traders. The benefits of the trading software quickly grew into TradeMaven LLC. Established in August, 2003 and under the guidance of owner and software developer Peter Nannis, the powerful TradeMaven software became available to retail and professional traders.

The TradeMaven Group combines exceptional customer service and brokerage services with the best trade execution platform available. TMG maintains its offices in the Chicago Board of Trade building where it services its floor traders and houses the electronic infrastructure necessary to support its vast trader business.
