The decision to choose Wombat was based on the speed and comprehensiveness of Wombat's market data integration software.

"Wombat's enterprise-ready, low latency solution will greatly benefit the buy-side and sell-side traders who turn to EdgeTrade for our innovative, agency algorithmic strategies and anonymous executions," said EdgeTrade CEO, Joseph Wald.

"Speed is too critical a determinant of successful trade execution to take chances on systems not designed for the rigors of automated trading," remarked Danny Moore, COO of Wombat. "Wombat's pure focus on high speed market connectivity helps innovators like EdgeTrade win by allowing them to tap ultra low latency data through an off the shelf product line we're committed to supporting and evolving as the markets change."
