Professional trading software provider, Trading Technologies International, Inc., announced this Tuesday that it has partnered with the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) to launch colocated Execution and client connectivity services to TFEX.
The agreement marks Trading Technologies’ platform’s entrance into Thailand. In particular, the services will connect the exchange’s proprietary EMAPI API from within TFEX’s SET Data Centre in Bangkok.
Under the partnership, clients of the infrastructure provider will have direct access to the exchange’s portfolio of listed derivatives. This includes futures, options, and options on futures in equities (stocks index and individual stocks), debt instruments, and commodities.
Furthermore, through the SET Data Centre in Bangkok, firms will be able to use the software provider’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering. Namely, this service provides access to the company’s low-latency global financial network.
