Mr. Oschefski has extensive experience in spot FX as well as futures, dating back to his days as a proprietary trader at Swifttrade between September 2002 and April 2004 where he traded equities on US exchanges and ATS venues, using a strategy which involved cross-ECN arbitrage.

Moving on to Refco in April 2004, Mr. Oschefski was a futures trader, specializing in derivatives trading on US and European markets, before moving on to CFT Financials in December 2005, for a two year period which preceded his joining DV Trading as a futures and equities trader.

In 2010, Mr. Oschefski joined Quanitca Trading as Head of Accounts and Strategic Partnerships, where he spent four and a half years. Quantica Trading was an algorithmic FX trading software company which provided low latency trading systems. The company which was based in Toronto, led by former SunGard executive Janice Robson as CEO and President, ceased to exist during 2014, at which point Mr. Oschefski moved to Rizm to take the position of VP Sales.

Ten months later, Mr. Oschefski’s commitment to highly technologically advanced business is most certainly advancing, however involving a departure from the FX industry after 12 years.
