High Frequency Trading (HFT)

Trading: Front office solutions across the trade life cycle

Buy side to sell side, multiple execution venues and liquidity pools—the trade life cycle at global investment firms is becoming increasingly complex. Whatever your trading strategy, whether it be HFT, algorithmic, managed or hybrid, the technologies in the front office are likely to be amongst the most advanced in your firm. At the high end, near zero latency is essential to realize arbitrage opportunities, and for global strategies, colocation outside the firm near liquidity in remote geographies is increasing the operational challenge.


OnX knows the trading technology world and has invested in capabilities to assemble leading edge components for the most demanding trading environments requiring lowest latency and highest operational reliability. Working with hardware, software and infrastructure suppliers, OnX assembles the infrastructure to support complete trading solutions:

  • Market data
  • FIX
  • Order routing
  • Compliance and risk


 

 

 

 

For the buy side firm looking to insulate from the complexity of technology choice and engineering, OnX is a one-stop shop that can provide pre-tested bundles (“black box”) of trading solution for deployment in-house or in a remote CoLo.  For the advanced sell-side firm with significant in-house technical resource, OnX can be used for procurement of individual components and advise integration compatibility, latency impact at each layer in the stack and facilitate sensitivity testing on the path to optimized performance. If you are looking at the technology and operational mix for trading, OnX can add value.

 
OnX is investing in trading life cycle solutions and as a partnering vendor is a unique complement to the challenge of executing a multi-asset, global trading business in a constantly evolving capital market environment.
