VPS Tailor-made Algorithmic Trading Solution Live at Japanese Brokerage

Tailor-made development for algorithmic trading live at international Japanese investment bank. Modules include:

Automatic Trading Module (ATM), SEHK does not support market order, ATM was developed as a Market Trader (MT) Add-on, so traders can use a dialog to enable any MT orders so an ATM logic can be applied to these orders. ATM logic included “market” orders using best bid or best ask, %limit checking, monitoring for a target price place order automatically, ELO orders > than 5 spreads, automatic creation of unfilled orders from Auction period to normal trading period.

Program-Trading Add-on (PTA), our client experienced gaps and bugs within Market Trader program-trading module. PTA was developed so that Daiwa can have a Historical VWAP pattern generation for their basket trading business and a better recovery to the MT program trading function. PTA has a front-end to enable simple basket routing features for a “super-trader” to distribute CD orders within a basket to different traders. The traders can apply Historical VWAP patterns to these CD orders by activating a dialog.

FIX-DMA Module, this module handles FIX orders automatically, from placing, amending orders to canceling orders. Different ATM logic was enabled for different business lines, if any orders requests trader intervention, it will be routed to a group of traders in a “round-robin” basis.
