Convenience of a Single Liquidity Access Point

Often, trading desks are cluttered with multiple data and order-entry terminals. FutureTrade brings together market data, news, and analytics, along with portfolio and risk management elements in a comprehensive system, eliminating the need for multiple terminals and exchange data fees. The platform integrates with multiple data vendors and liquidity venues, offering a single point of access to multiple ECNs, exchanges and broker/dealers.


Improves Efficiency

Errors frequently occur when orders and trade information is manually entered into various, non-integrated, order management, portfolio and reporting systems.

FutureTrade integrates with back office processes, uploading account positions at beginning of day and reporting to back office, order and portfolio management systems in real-time, or at anytime required by your workflow. All trades executed through the platform can be automatically reported in real-time to the prime broker or clearing agent.

This comprehensive front to back integration allows supervisors, prime brokers, and clearing agents to maintain an up-to-the-second view of positions and to adjust limits and controls at any time.


Reduces Costs

Efficient business processes result in lower operating costs. FutureTrade simplifies the equities trading workflow and enables traders to execute at the best prices available and minimize costly error expenses.

FutureTrade helps institutional traders lower market impact, by reaching liquidity at the best prices at available venues. Disclosure of trading intentions can be avoided by entering orders anonymously, distributing large orders between multiple targets, or entering reserve orders that only disclose a portion of total order quantity.


T+1 Ready

Currently trades settle on the third business day after trade date. The move toward next day settlement (T+1) will require more automated processing, less manual intervention, redundant data entry and integrated processes.

The FutureTrade platform facilitates prompt and accurate reporting of all trade data to clearing and settlement entities, making FutureTrade an ideal front-end for buy-side trading firms.
