"For vendors, FCMs, and those with proprietary applications, Continuum provides trade execution and data distribution solutions that can be customized to their specific needs," said Mike Glista, Vice President at Continuum. "Over the years, CQG has built one of the best global infrastructures in the futures industry to support its proprietary trading and market data applications. We are now making that infrastructure available to other market participants with a collection of enterprise-level solutions."
