Rick Lane, CEO The economic panorama of trading venues has been redefined by the recent adoption of electronic trading systems and is proving to be a catalyst in the market architecture and consequential trading possibilities. The existing market structures, regulatory and competitive factors, and the varied needs of traders have cohesively all stimulated the integration of new technology into mainstream trading. Moreover, the ‘asset type’ has further sparked this transition, since standardized, homogenous products have demonstrated to be “easiest” to migrate into electronic trading.

Trading Technologies has realized its vision to become the ultimate operating system of capital markets with a promise to bring in broader capabilities to trading software, infrastructure, and network solutions and data.

The Road to the Future of Trading
Over the past two decades, Trading Technologies has been a key to the transformation from floor trading to electronic trading. The company presently caters to an extensive range of markets including energies, fixed income, and cryptocurrencies where users can trade with TT software throughout North and South America, Europe and the Asia/Pacific region. In addition to granting access to the world’s dominant international exchanges and liquidity venues through its TT and X_TRADER trading platforms, Trading Technologies has also developed domain-specific technology for cryptocurrency trading and machine-learning tools for real-time trade surveillance. The company launched its crypto trading platform through a partnership with Coinbase, which aimed to offer institutional investors exposure and market access to cryptocurrencies.
Following the immense success and dominance of the TT and X_TRADER platforms, Trading Technologies is increasing its solution portfolio through its enhanced options offering, advanced execution services, and the latest trade surveillance solution, TT® Score. In tandem with its plethora of offerings, the company supports decimalized spread ratios for enhanced arbitrage trade execution of LME base metals and other international commodities through its industry-leading spread trading Autospreader tool. Combined with TT’s colocation with LME, Trading Technologies has allowed traders in the Asia/Pacific region access to the fastest commercially available futures trading solution available on the market.
What’s more is that the TT platform is also co-located with several of the major Asia/Pacific exchanges, including the HKEX, Singapore Exchange (SGX), Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and, as of most recently, the Osaka Securities Exchange (OSE). The company’s colocation with OSE in the JPX colocation space also presents proximity connectivity to the Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX) and Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM).
