The alliance enables trading companies to use the Sol-3 trading front-end in combination with Fortis Clearing services either with their own membership or with a shared membership of Fortis Clearing.
The Sol-3 Trader platform is a trading tool for stock traders, derivative traders and market-makers including automated trading machines for quoting, opportunity trading, hedging, spreading or algo-trading.
The Sol-3 Trader provides connections to the European markets like Deutsche Borse (Eurex and Xetra including EBS and ETS), NYSE Euronext (cash and derivatives), London Stock Exchange, SIX Swiss Exchange, Xontro, Scoach and MTFs (Chi-X, Nasdaq OMX, Turquoise, Bats Europe, Quote MTF, Xetra International Market).
Chris Lee, global head of market access at FBGC said: “Adding the connectivity of Sol-3 to our low latency, high capacity trading network, is a great opportunity for us both. It opens another door to us with Sol-3’s loyal customer base, and offers Sol-3 the opportunity to extend its reach into the large array of global derivative and equity markets we clear around the world.”
