He was the first floor broker to pre-negotiate option trades from the ICE trading floor.

Avery  provides exceptional liquidity and price discovery to institutional clients, banks, fund to funds and hedge funds. In 2013 Avery joined Sweet Futures and ventured into brokering livestock options off the floor. Sweet Futures was the first to offer a hybrid execution service in these markets.
