CQG, a provider of analytics software and trading services, and Otkritie Securities or OSL, a UK-based subsidiary of Otkritie Financial, have entered into a global software licensing agreement in which OSL will make CQG’s trading software available to its customers and internal trading desks.

CQG said that this agreement allows OSL to meet increased demand for professional futures trading software from buy-side firms and other high-volume traders.

CQG also said that the customers clearing through OSL will have access to CQG’s decision-making tools, consolidated market data, and advanced electronic trading via the CQG Trader and Integrated Client platforms to route orders to the CME Globex, Eurex, Montreal Exchange, NYSE Euronext Liffe, ICE Futures US, ICE Futures Europe, and SGX.

Evgeny Kuteev, head of execution desk at OSL, said: Otkritie Securities offers to its clients CQG terminals which we consider to be one of the most advanced trading platforms and quality data providers. OSL’s in-depth understanding of the mechanics behind exchange-traded derivatives coupled with the expertise of CQG allows it to be a service provider on futures and options markets.
