OVERVIEW

Automated Trading

The next generation in automated trading.

In the fast-evolving world of trading, automated and algorithmic execution as methods of capitalising on pricing ‘anomalies’, are becoming more critical to trading entities. Over 40% of all trades are now executed using automated strategies and there is little doubt that this trend will continue to increase.

We understand that maintaining an edge in automated trading means acquiring the right technology infrastructure. With the advent of TradeVec’s automated trading platform, near zero latency execution, full post-order management and greater risk control are now accessible to all, giving you the fastest and most flexible platform at an affordable cost.

Key features:

Zero configuration set-up with third party platforms

TradeVec’s Automated Trading platform has been developed for speed, compatibility and ease of use, integrating seamlessly with any third party applications, including custom-built platforms. There is no requirement for time consuming and costly programming or coding. This allows firms to quickly develop and implement new strategies using their existing platforms and take advantage of trading opportunities - while the opportunities are still available.

The following platforms are currently natively supported by the TradeVec Automated Trading API:

TradeStation
Metatrader
eSignal
Microsoft Excel
Custom software able to access DLLs

Integrated low latency FIX messaging

Working behind the TradeVec’s automated trading API is the DataVec high frequency server with full FIX (Financial Information eXchange) integration. When fast, up-to-date information and order processing are needed, the DataVec engine provides it, offering near zero latency and the ability to send over 1000 orders every second on standard hardware.

Advanced execution algorithms

The TradeVec platform has the capacity to attach advanced execution algorithms that activate concurrently with your automated strategies and maintain synchronisation between your strategies and real market fills.

For you, this means:

Reducing slippage and trading costs
The ability to synchronise theoretical and real market positions
Closely duplicate simulated performance
