Business Continuity Plan
This document addresses the Business Continuity Plan of T3 Trading Group, LLC. (“T3 Trading Group”). The purpose of this plan is to help ensure T3 Trading Group's continuing operations and/or the restoration of its business and operations in the most efficient and timely manner in case of an internal or external Significant Business Disruption (SBD). T3 Trading Group clears its securities business through Clear Street LLC (Clear Street) & Velocity Clearing, LLC (Velocity).
Clear Street and Velocity both represent that they back up our important records in a geographically separate area from where they and the Firm conduct business. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based upon external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we have been advised by both Clear Street and Velocity that their objective is to restore their own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within a reasonable period of time. Due to the fact that not all potential factors that cause an SBD can be anticipated, your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during an SBD.
Varying Disruptions
A disruption can be caused by any accidental, natural, or man-made event that threatens to or actually disrupts normal operations or services for sufficient time to significantly affect an organization.
Business disruptions, by their nature, can vary greatly in size, scope, and duration. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing an office of our firm, we will recover our backed-up data and transfer our operations to a local site as needed and expect to recover and resume business without a significant delay. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we plan to transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area and recover and resume business as soon as practicable. In either situation, we plan to continue in business and notify you through our website.
Our Business Continuity Plan
Our goal is to quickly recover and resume business operations after an SBD and respond by safeguarding our employees’ lives and property, making a financial and operational assessment, recovering and resuming operations as quickly as possible, protecting all of the Firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business and withdraw available funds.
Our business continuity plan addresses: data back-up and recovery; all mission-critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; critical suppliers, contractors, banks, and counterparty impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if there is a significant delay in resuming our business.
