A new offering has been designed to ease client onboarding and streamline FIX management.
Trading technology provider Horizon Trading Solutions is launching a connectivity solution, Horizon FixConnect, designed to ease client and broker onboarding and streamline FIX infrastructure management, officials say.
Horizon Trading Solutions provides electronic trading solutions to agency and principal desks across equity and derivatives markets.
“Horizon FixConnect introduces real-time, self-service configuration of FIX connections directly within the Horizon Trader Workspace,” officials say. The solution is built upon an open-source messaging and clustering technology known as Aeron and “removes traditional dependencies on IT and operations teams.”
Horizon FixConnect can help institutional and retail brokers reduce onboarding timelines from “multi-day processes to near real-time deployment,” officials say. “It also enables more efficient deployment of FIX connections, eliminating the need for system restarts and reducing operational overhead.”
FixConnect also bolsters Horizon’s trading platform as it helps clients combine connectivity, execution, and algorithmic trading capabilities in a unified environment, officials add.
FixConnect operates in a 24/7 trading environment and can help “real-time adaptation of connectivity without disruption, allowing brokers to effectively navigate continuous trading environments,” officials say.
“By giving control directly to traders, firms can configure, test, and deploy connections instantly, without disrupting live trading,” says Yannick Martin, head of product agency and OMS at Horizon Trading Solutions, in a prepared statement.
