Overview

FastTrade is a multi-faceted technology and can simultaneously be seen as: an electronic market (a regulated Exchange, an Alternative Trading System or an internal market); a system for professional traders to connect to markets, and a system for a retail or institutional investor to connect to a broker. FastTrade can be used as a unique or common trading tool for traders to trade on equities, bond, and derivative markets, irrespective of geography. Automatic-trading tools that are also available within the FastTrade suite can enhance the standard trading functionality. The system features a service called Meta Market, a FastTrade module which makes both protocols and data structures used by the negotiation circuits uniform, and solves all problems related to multi-market negotiation and middle-office activities, giving users a unique, homogeneous interface. This gives rise to a virtual market made by securities traded on different floors. FastTrade’s only interface to use services offered by other software applications is the Adapter Level. All requests and responses to and from FastTrade pass through the Adapter Level. The Adapter Level manages connections to external applications hiding the specific protocol from the engine it is interacting with and provides all necessary functionalities to use services offered by the external application. The adapters available as of today are (examples) Borsa Italiana, MTS, MEF,IDEM, Bondvision, Senaf, ADEX, HDAT, Xetra, Eurex, Euronext, Liffe, eSpeed, BrokerTec an many others..
