Trading Technologies and Mathswork team up to streamline connectivity

Trading Technologies a leading provider of order-entry software and solutions for professional derivatives traders, and MathWorks, developer of MATLAB, a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization and numerical computation, today announced that TT's X_TRADER® API is now integrated within the MATLAB environment. Through this integrated solution, financial engineers, traders and analysts who use MATLAB can now Leverage Leverage In financial trading, leverage is a loan supplied by a broker, which facilitates a trader in being able to control a relatively large amount of money with a significantly lesser initial investment. Leverage therefore allows traders to make a much greater return on investment compared to trading without any leverage. Traders seek to make a profit from movements in financial markets, such as stocks and currencies.Trading without any leverage would greatly diminish the potential rewards, so traders In financial trading, leverage is a loan supplied by a broker, which facilitates a trader in being able to control a relatively large amount of money with a significantly lesser initial investment.

MathWorks' Computational Finance Product Manager Stuart Kozola said, "By adding TT’s XTAPI capabilities to MATLAB, our customers will be able to easily move from their trading strategy prototypes into live trading, all within the MATLAB environment."

MATLAB Datafeed Toolbox leverages TT’s XTAPI to access exchange price feeds and position data from TT's platform and execute custom strategies via X_TRADER.

Quantitative traders have access to a streamlined workflow for harnessing large amounts of data, developing quantitative strategies, and handing them off to TT’s reliable Execution Execution Execution is the process during which a client submits an order to the brokerage, which consequently executes it resulting in an open position in a given asset. The execution of the order occurs only when it is filled. There is typically a time delay between the placement of the order and the execution which is called latency.In the retail FX space, reliable brokers always strive to deliver best execution to their clients in order to maintain a solid business relationship with them.

Additionally, clients can use TT's automated trading tools, including the new ADL™ visual programming platform, to develop complex strategies that react to trades placed through MATLAB. Available immediately, this integration provides the only direct order-routing connectivity between MATLAB and a futures execution platform.

Rick Lane, EVP/CTO with TT, said, "This integration allows our customers to utilize MATLAB's powerful mathematical functions to process massive amounts of quantitative data, then use the resulting insights to seamlessly place orders in the market through the TT platform. We believe our clients will find tremendous value in this solution."
