This new service offering extends Latency Intelligence to manage inter-party latency visibility in a shared environment to improve market data and trade execution processing.

"RaceTeam helps trading partners visualize latency performance at a granular level within their own firms as well as share relevant latency intelligence with their trading partners within a secure environment," said Shawn Melamed, CEO. "Our primary goal was to create a collaborative latency measurement and monitoring service for RaceTeam participants to enable them to improve order execution and trading services."

Market participants, service providers and execution venues participating in RaceTeam will operate within a shared latency intelligence platform. Specific trading parties can choose to securely exchange latency information with an agreed level of transparency for fast problem resolution. Market participants improve profitability of their trading strategies, service providers guarantee customer order flow and execution venues attract consistent order volume.
