Eze Castle Software, a leading provider of technology solutions to multi-strategy, global investment managers, has integrated its Traders Console order management system (OMS) with Trading Technologies' X_TRADER so mutual clients can trade global and domestic futures electronically. This integration has been certified by both companies. The integration was achieved using the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol, an open-standard protocol that is widely used in the financial industry.

"The move to multi-asset-class trading continues and TT is leading the way by providing fast, reliable access to the world's major futures exchange," said Alvin Tanpoco, TT's VP of Business Development. "Teaming with a leader in Order Management Systems such as Eze Castle Software provides TT's customers with a first-class solution for executing, managing and monitoring global markets."

"The majority of our accounts trade multiple asset classes and employ strategies to diversify their business. Futures trading is a very big part of that," says Sean Sullivan, Executive Vice President, Director of Global Sales for Eze Castle Software. "Our clients can now electronically trade futures with the X_TRADER platform. Execution reports can flow back and seamlessly update exposures, P&L and positions in real time."
