MULTI PROTOCOL CONNECTIVITY

PATRONAS TradeDirector facilitates the electronic connection of customers and exchanges, OTC trading platforms and brokers via Financial Exchange Protocol (FIX) or alternative communication formats.

​

The fully integrated FIX technology processes thousands of transactions per second and is fully scalable. Links (in- and outbound) to a variety of counterparties are available as standard adapter.

​

Customer specific connections can be established by configuration rather than development. Numerous non-FIX message formats like SWIFT, BVI Excel Sheets, FAX and Email can be processed electronically.

ORDER PROCESSING

PATRONAS TradeDirector ensures optimized, transparent and secure trading operations via one single front end. Orders can be received electronically or entered manually. Orders will be routed and processed based on a wide range of criteria (like customer, market, instrument, size, side etc.) to external counterparties or internal trading and/or processing desks for manual intervention.

​

All order and execution steps can be monitored and managed in real time.

The calculation can be based on client, asset class, volume and many other criteria or based on a counterparty specific commission table.

After validation, executed orders will be dispatched automatically to the relevant counterparty or system (Middle Office, back Office etc.) – including any commission or trading fees.

REPORTING

PATRONAS TradeDirector fulfils necessary regulatory and customer-specific reporting requirements.

Timely and complex reporting has become a vital requirement for all trade related solutions. It is therefore necessary to store massive amounts of static and market data, as well as all relevant order and execution related data, over longer periods of time and to make this data available within the system in order to provide adequate reports and analysis, whenever needed.

Reports can be created individually or based on templates and they can be dispatched electronically at pre-defined schedule or upon request.

​

The open database architecture makes it easy to fulfil any regulatory or customer specific requirements with regard to reporting.
