Orc teams up with Cscreen to provide OTC pricing and reporting functionality

Orc, a leading provider of technology and services for the global financial industry, today announced that it has integrated the Orc Trading products with Cscreen, NYSE Liffe’s global pre-trade price discovery platform, providing traders with a more efficient way of interfacing Indications of Interests for equity and index derivatives from inter-dealer brokers.

The Cscreen integration provides Orc users with an efficient way to bring together their activities in the OTC equity derivatives markets alongside their on-screen trading. Leveraging Orc’s rich functionality in strategy trading, the Cscreen solution enables traders to quickly price and assess any incoming IOIs for swift trading decisions.
