Tuesday 31st January 2023 – Paris, France – Today, Horizon Software (Horizon), provider of electronic trading solutions and algorithmic technology for the global capital markets, announces new module updates to their platform Horizon Extend, a cross-asset electronic platform for principal and agency trading.
Covering a variety of functions, ‘Horizon Extend’ allows clients to leverage their developers to create new pricing modules and hedgers, to automate their workflow and extend a more transparent, flexible and open trading environment. The platform is designed to support leveraging functions and new building functions, as well as the ability to add advanced routing rules for DMA (direct market access) flow. As risk management and regulatory compliance remains front of minds for firms, Horizon’s software will allow clients to develop their own trading risk and control rules in an efficient way. In parallel, Horizon is also focusing on offering full services for development from source control, continuous integration, and continuous deployment.
Building on the services already offered, Horizon will focus on expanding its Trading-as-a-Service offering across 2023 – keeping the focus on bringing together agency trading and market making on one platform – operating on a global scale. This includes scaling up the asset classes that are covered to meet increased client demand for digital assets. Horizon will also better serve clients through innovation and implementation of new trading services, enhancing its capabilities to handle high-volume order flows from clients to the market.
Olivier Masdebrieu, Chief Technology Officer, comments: Our objective is to offer a development platform as well as a trading platform. Helping our clients develop the right functions to fit their needs is our priority, using either our modules or developing their own. Our developers are using the same tools to build our solutions, so we know it works and we continue to focus our attention on improving our offering”.
