We are not registered with FINRA, the SEC, or any financial regulatory body. Nothing on this website constitutes investment advice or an offer to buy or sell any financial instrument.
Proprietary Capital Only
Every position we take is backed exclusively by our own firm capital. No outside investors. No client money. Ever.
Systems-Driven Execution
Our trading is governed entirely by systematic, rules-based algorithms — removing emotion from every decision.
Risk-First Architecture
Risk management isn’t an afterthought — it’s engineered into every layer of every system we deploy.
Continuous Research
Markets evolve. Our research pipeline never stops — constantly developing, testing, and refining new edge.
Proprietary Trading.
Our Capital. Our Edge.
A proprietary trading firm — commonly called a “prop firm” — deploys its own capital in financial markets using internally developed strategies and technology. Unlike hedge funds or asset managers, a prop firm does not manage outside investor money.
At Fannin & McKinney, that structure is not a limitation — it is our greatest strategic advantage. We answer to no redemption schedules, no quarterly investor calls, and no external mandates governing how we trade. We build systems. We stress-test them. We deploy them with iron discipline.
Our systems are developed entirely in-house. Our research is proprietary. Our edge belongs to us — and we protect it.
Our Proprietary
Trading Systems
Every strategy begins with one question: where does real, exploitable inefficiency exist in this market? The answer drives everything.
Systematic Quantitative Strategies
Rules-based trading models built on statistically validated signals, calibrated across extensive historical data and stress-tested against out-of-sample market conditions before any capital is committed.
Algorithmic Execution Technology
Low-latency order management and routing engineered to minimize slippage, reduce market impact, and ensure live performance matches the expectations set during backtesting.
Adaptive Machine Learning Models
ML techniques including supervised classification, reinforcement learning signals, and pattern recognition — building adaptive models that respond intelligently as market microstructure shifts.
Risk Management Architecture
Maximum drawdown controls, volatility-adjusted position sizing, correlation-based portfolio construction, and automated circuit breakers — enforced at every level with no manual override on loss-control triggers.

Operating Principle
All positions are taken exclusively using Fannin & McKinney’s own proprietary capital. We do not trade client funds under any circumstance.
The Fannin & McKinney
Edge
The financial markets punish hesitation and reward process. We built our entire operation around one empirical truth: systematic, algorithmically driven trading — built on genuine research and disciplined risk management — produces more consistent, more scalable, and more defensible returns than discretionary approaches over complete market cycles.
We do not guess. We do not hope. We research, validate, build, and execute — with the same discipline every single session.
Emotion-Free Execution
Human traders second-guess and override good systems at the worst moments. Our algorithms don’t. When models signal a trade, it executes — precisely, instantly, without interference.
Scalable Intelligence
Our systems monitor millions of data points across thousands of instruments simultaneously — identifying patterns and relationships invisible to any individual analyst.
Proven, Not Assumed
Every strategy we deploy has been validated across years of historical data — including bear markets, flash crashes, and liquidity crises. We know how our systems behave when conditions turn hard.
Never Standing Still
Our research pipeline never stops. We continuously develop and test new signals while retiring strategies whose edge has eroded. Complacency is not in our vocabulary.
Our Core
Operating Principles
Capital Preservation First
No return target justifies reckless risk. Protect the capital — always, every session, every trade.
Research Over Opinion
Every strategy must be grounded in data and validated statistically. Conviction without evidence is speculation.
Systems Over Discretion
Build the process. Trust the process. Audit the process. Improve the process. Repeat without exception.
Discipline Is the Strategy
The best system in the world fails without the discipline to follow it when conditions are uncomfortable.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Precision. Discipline. Edge.
The markets don’t reward hope. They reward preparation, process, and the discipline to execute your system when it’s uncomfortable. That is the standard we hold ourselves to — every single trading day.
