BTS Spark spreader provides verifiably better fill quality

Our considerable experience providing options market-making systems has shown us that speed and flexibility are paramount, and that traders should control the timing of update releases. Our system was built to easily incorporate new features while maintaining latency profiles necessary to compete in today’s electronic derivatives markets.

Our ultra low latency spreader includes:

  • Under 10 microsecond tick to re-quote times
  • The ability to create complex synthetic spreads with 2, 3, or more legs
  • An ever-growing algorithm library built on our dynamic algo fabric
  • Ability to compose algos through the algo studio and save them for quick deployment
  • Pre-quote throttles to mitigate exchange messaging
  • Pre-hedge rules to manage leg risk
  • Post-hedge functions to work a more advantageous hedge price
