Our Services

Improve trading speed

We understand the business of trading and what it takes to create good software. Our consultants know that our customers depend on trading software. We are at the forefront of the trends in algorithmic trading and the arms race in creating low latency software. We offer services to make our customers trading software fast, flexible and reliable.

Algorithmic Trading

Traders, we speak your language.

Edge works with traders to understand their strategies and transform them into software.

Some of the types of strategies we have worked with:

Arbitrage
Trend following
Spreading
Mean reversion
Market Making

We have also worked with strategies based on neural networks and genetic algorithms.

Trading Software Customization

We have extensive experience in connecting to the following trading ISV's APIs:

Trading Technologies (TT)
CQG
ORC
RTS
NinjaTrader
TradeStation
Interactive Brokers

We have experience working with custom APIs as well as FIX APIs for the ISVs listed.

Solutions we have created include custom spreading tools, custom order types, order monitoring tools, automated trading applications, algorithmic trading applications, black box or gray box trading applications, order management systems, risk management systems and more.

Direct Exchange Connectivity

We have experience creating solutions that connect directly to exchange price feeds and order routing systems. Whether you're looking for ultimate speed to send orders to an exchange or you want control over your exchange connectivity software, we are the right company for the job.

Exchanges we have experience writing to:

CME (FAST and iLink)
LIFFE
EUREX
ICE
EBS ICAP
BrokerTec

If you're doing any type of automated or algorithmic trading, we can create custom exchange connectivity solution and embed your trading logic deep into the gateway for ultimate speed to the exchange.

Risk Management

Edge understands the need for risk management in today's volatile market conditions. We work with FCMs and Trading Firms to measure, manage and minimize the risk using our Mcubed methodology. Our custom solutions monitor your important indicators on a Pre Trade or Post Trade risk check basis.

We have created systems for risk checking that are extremely low latency and unobtrusive to trading. Each FCM and trading firm's risk management style varies. We create solutions that meet those unique needs.

Risk Systems based on

Positions
Order Quantity
P&L
Margining

Alerts vary from emails, text messages and/or on-screen notifications.

FIX Protocol Connectivity and Certification

FIX Protocol is a well established messaging standard developed specifically for the real-time electronic exchange of securities transactions. We offer FIX Protocol based connectivity services using most widely used 3rd party FIX engines, including the open source QuickFIX FIX Engine. We have successfully completed several projects using FIX and FIX/FAST protocols.

Using the FIX Protocol, we have created

Custom exchange connections, and custom feed handlers based on FIX and FIX/FAST.
Back Office Drop Copy Connections to CBOE, ICE and others.
Connections to ISVs such as Trading Technologies' FIX Adapter
Custom connections to brokerages from proprietary trading software

We are experts in FIX Connectivity and Certification processes, having helped many trading firms. We are a member of FIX Protocol Ltd. and Market Data Optimization working group.

Low Latency Optimization

Latency in a trading system can cost companies millions of dollars in lost profit opportunities. Wall Street firms are continously upgrading their systems in an arms race to minimize latency. We have significant experience in measuring, monitoring, and removing latency out of trading systems that include order routing systems, custom algorithmic strategies, custom trading tools and applications.

Edge has developed several tools and methodologies to quickly and systematically reduce latencies from trading systems.
