CHICAGO: SpiderRock Technology Solutions, a premier provider of options trading technology, with a platform that handles approximately 250 billion dollars in notional annually, today unveils the latest version of its flagship platform, SpiderRock Connect. This global trading platform supporting U.S. and E.U. derivative instruments includes several major feature upgrades, runs in next-generation data centers that are proximity-located to exchange matching engines and provides access to an entirely new equity options alternative trading system called SpiderRock ATS.
SpiderRock Connect also introduces MLink, a new web-socket API for sending and receiving live data messages, a variety of re-imagined web-based tools to simplify client workflows and access on- and off-screen liquidity from one application, and upgrades to its popular SRSE API.
As a core feature of SpiderRock Connect, the ATS was designed to support trading in individual option series and option spreads in both exchange-listed and exchange FLEX instruments. This is done through two distinct auction types:
SpiderRock Founder and CEO, George Papa offered, "From a technical perspective, this platform version accomplishes everything the previous version does, and we now offer an options-only ATS that is already building momentum. I’m pleased with our team’s dedication and teamwork in building the ATS, as it performs incredibly well in one of the most mission-critical and technologically advanced industries; options trading.”
Annabelle Baldwin, Partner and CRO, continued, “This platform update reflects the natural evolution of SpiderRock as a leader in options trading solutions for institutional clients. Many clients supported us in our endeavor to build a feature-rich options ATS that would help bring automation, competition, and transparency to the block trading process. Thanks to an incredible demonstration of technical, design, and business acumen from the SpiderRock team, we are very proud to deliver this modern, elegant, and powerful new platform to an array of institutional clients that increasingly trade options worldwide.”
