Townsend Analytics is now providing internal traders and clients of Tullett Liberty's global Equity Division with its RealTick® multi-product market data, analytics, and direct-access trading platform.
One of the world's largest independent agency equity brokers, Tullett Liberty provides institutional broker clients and hedge funds with access to more than 30 exchanges worldwide. With RealTick, Tullett Liberty clients can now trade more than 40 North American and European markets through a single platform, greatly increasing their trading efficiency.
RealTick's sophisticated order handling and decision-support tools also allow traders to easily employ more complex equity trading strategies, such as algorithmic trading and basket trading of multiple securities simultaneously. In addition, specialty order types including conditional, reserve, discretionary, pegged, stop and seamlessly integrated worked orders allow users to fully control and manage their trading, lessen the market impact of a trade, and preserve anonymity.
