The powerful eSpeed Trading Engine is the heart of our trading systems. No matter how complex the trade, our philosophy remains simple: We design processing software for trading. Period.

Because we understand how traders think and act, we've created a system that not only is reliable, efficient, comprehensive, neutral, and—of course—fast, but it actively encourages liquidity.

How? Our proprietary rules-based software rewards first to-market bids, and gives a time-based right of refusal to the last successful buyer.

Our trading engines are modular, so they're flexible too. For example, in Europe we added a multi-currency trading component.

Most of our software applications are proprietary: Ensuring seamless integration from front office orders to back office reporting.

Interactive Matching SM
Our eSpeed auction and trading engines use Interactive Matching SM. Multiple buyers and multiple sellers get superior prices globally, in real time. This proprietary rules-based method can handle over 150 transactions per second per product.

Plus built-in intelligence provides trading incentives like rewarding providers of liquidity by charging them less commission.

Complex Trading
Buyers and sellers of financial instruments, products and commodities in several markets in the same transaction — eSpeed keeps them focused.

eSpeed supports automated trading. Our capability enables complex transactions to be developed across multiple products and instruments. With our processing power, speed and flexibility, complex transactions requiring multiple executions in different markets can be conducted according to customized rules.

We keep track of the details, so our clients can take care of the strategy.

Credit Risk Management
Critical to the operation of our marketplaces, our credit and risk management systems:

  • Continuously monitor trades to ensure credit limits are maintained
  • Automatically prevent trading once a limit has been passed
  • Evaluate transactions to calculate individual positions and risk exposure across multiple products and credit limits
  • Store data such as financial statements, credit documents, contacts and internal analyses

Clients can even make our marketplaces available to their clients while maintaining control of their activity and risk.

Pricing Engine
Water into wine? No. But we can make illiquid markets liquid.

With sophisticated applications like our TOPS system, we link multiple markets and offer prices to create or enhance marketplaces that have limited liquidity.

After the anonymous buy/sell part of the trade is completed, customers can settle directly with other customers in businesses where that's necessary.

GUM lets participants pre-select their counterparties. So, on the trading screen, only the prices that are "good" to them are shown. (Plus you get a free acronym.)
