Trading
Our TimeScape data management technology has been designed from the outset to support the ever-changing needs of the trading desk in pre- and post-trade decision support. It delivers the tools that traders need to analyse their data and do more themselves, whilst at the same time providing a scaleable systems architecture that unburdens IT departments of tactical day-on-day requirements from the trading desk. TimeScape supports high volume analysis of tick data through to the detailed analysis of historic volatility surfaces, and fully supports the easy integration of your own proprietary statistical and pricing analytics. This range of analytical capability, together with its support for any financial instrument, mean that TimeScape is the data platform for cross- and multi-asset trading.
