Japanese brokerage firm Nomura Securities is rolling out VhaYu Technologies' real-time and historical tick-data platform for its new algorithmic trading operation in New York.
John Comerford, managing director, equity sales and trading, Nomura Securities Incorporated - who has been part of the team building the firm's new algorithmic trading infrastructure for the past six months - says: "Strategically, there are competitive advantages gained by building your own algorithmic trading environment. VhaYu's ability to handle rapidly rising and massive volumes of real-time and historical ticks and simultaneously analyse the data at an impressive speed made their solution an attractive platform for our real-time data users operating locally in the Americas."
VhaYu's says the integrated platform will also provide Nomura with the ability to pre-process its quantitative analytical trading models more efficiently.
