Innovation in Equity Trading

Eikos Partners Adds Configurability and Speed

Eikos Partners has built a client zero install equity trading system with tick by tick position, P&L and sophisticated stock charting that allows users to annotate charts with news and even online chat sessions. The charts update in real-time, and the news and annotations made by users appear on the charts immediately. In addition, moving a mouse over a stock instantly brings up a choice of buy and sell actions, allowing users to make trades in a single click. The user end of the system was built using Microsoft Silverlight and culminates a year of work by Eikos Partners in studying different possibilities for Silverlight. The system also uses Enterprise Gateway from Kaazing, a real-time message delivery solutions company, to push real-time updates to the client, and Windows Azure cloud computing platform for back-end processing.
