Exegy has announced the availability of six new feed handlers for foreign exchange venues.
The new feed handlers expand Exegy’s broad portfolio of over 200 market data feed handlers, including feed handlers for leading bank portals and ECN platforms for currency trading. The new forex feed handlers will support trading at Bank of America, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Nomura, and Royal Bank of Scotland.
The additions to Exegy’s portfolio of market data feed handlers were driven by expanded usage of its hardware-accelerated appliances for currency trading.
The new feed handlers have already been deployed to Exegy Ticker Plant appliances supporting asset management and hedge fund customers.
“As the currency markets continue their electronic evolution, the same incentives and challenges that developed in the equity and options markets are driving market participants to seek out faster, more capable, and more efficient market data platforms,” said Steve Hughes, vice president of sales at Exegy.
In addition to expanding the number of accessible currency trading venues, Exegy has expanded the feature set of its appliances and API to improve operational resiliency and liquidity visibility. This allows traders participating in the currency markets to define pools with different permutations of counter-parties and trading parameters and to blend these pools into an aggregated view of liquidity.
