Today we announced the Progress Apama FX Market Aggregation Accelerator. There is a lot of talk about algorithmic trading, but little hard discussion about the specific differences among asset classes and the styles of trading in each. We've spoken about the differences between FX, equities, fixed income, and derivatives, etc. The approach we take with our customers is to learn from experience while we work with them with specific use cases, and then generalize common best practices that can be used to address similar customer demands.
An example of this is the increased usage of algorithmic trading in FX, we have released a specific set of layered functionality foreign exchange (FX) algorithmic trading. This package includes adapters withpre-built Apama trading dashboards and foundation on top of Apama for FX algorithms. Theoffering helps both sell- and buy-side traders develop and deployhigh-frequency foreign exchange trading strategies that capitalise onproprietary trading techniques, integrating with major FX aggregators,Electronic Crossing Networks (ECNs) and direct bank connections.
