Blue Trading Systems recently expanded our offering to include a dominant platform for futures traders looking to get the most out of their trading technology. We are proud to offer a hardware accelerated version of BTS Spark with even lower latency and increased tick-to-trade determinism.

With a long history of providing options market-making clients with leading edge solutions, we have learned that speed and flexibility are two of the most important factors in this business, coupled with the fact that traders must maintain control of platform update releases. Our system was built to easily incorporate new features while maintaining latency profiles and stability necessary to compete in today’s electronic derivatives market.
