TradeSmart^® The Buy Side's Most Widely-Used EMS Screen

The choice of an ideal electronic trading interface is determined by the specific needs of every individual trading operation. Broker counterparty access, independency, asset class access, integration with third party system, functionality, scalability, latency and cost are all key elements of the decision-making process.
Institutional Investors traditionally confronted inflexible electronic trading models dominated by single-dealer and asset-class-specific platforms. This inflexibility forced traders to operate different systems and manage information overload at the expense of the ability to structure cross asset class trading strategies and achieve best execution.

The TradingScreen^® Approach

TradeSmart^® offers a customizable front-end GUI (Graphical User Interface) that enables Buy Side clients to trade a broad portfolio of financial instruments around the clock, on any market and with a wide range of counterparties. TradeSmart® is unique in its ability to integrate multiple-dealers and multiple asset-classes (listed and OTC) onto a single screen format for electronic order routing. Through a unique approach to data normalization and visualization, TradeSmart^® facilitates liquidity aggregation across exchanges, and other liquidity pools.

TradeSmart^® also makes available sophisticated functionalities that support order management such as Basket Trading, Pre-Trade and real-time TCA analytics, Allocations, Positions and P&L tracking. TradeSmart^® connects to all of the leading portfolio and order management systems to ensure complete integration into the workflow of Buy Side institutions. Its SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model enables very rapid deployment and incorporates the most comprehensive and intuitive access to the proprietary algorithmic trading strategies offered by the leading global brokers.
