Blue Trading Systems and Born Technology Partner to Provide Anti-Cloud Futures Trading Platform

We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Born Technology to provide professional traders with rapid access to our ultra low latency futures trading software delivered via Born’s private, global financial network.

Establishing the relationship was an easy decision for us as our offerings align exceptionally well. For over a decade, we have been providing derivatives trading and risk analytics software to firms looking for a competitive edge. Since 2002, Born pioneered the managed services model, providing its buy and sell-side clients and ISV’s with ultra-low latency colocation and market access, along with tools to monitor, measure and manage their order flow.

“Partnerships are a critical part of BTS’ continued success in many ways. Born’s reputation for cutting edge technology, superior support and international reach makes it a perfect fit for BTS,” said Kevin Darby, Managing Director at Blue Trading Systems. “Developing an alternative solution outside of the cloud was of central importance to us. Cloud based platforms, along with the associated privacy risks, are often not the best fit for professional traders.”

We are committed to continuing a software evolution delivering significant speed and cost benefits, offered to Born Technology's wide distribution of global FCM's and professional trading groups. Our BTS Spark platform provides control and transparency while keeping proprietary trading algorithms private. It includes a 25-microsecond futures spreader and algo system that allows customers to develop their own algorithms and compose them with those that we wrote. Currently in production at CME, with plans to expand exchange connectivity to Eurex and ICE during Q4, BTS Spark is the most cost-efficient solution for verifiably better fill quality available today.

“We are always looking for solutions to help our clients meet the ever changing and demanding needs of professional traders in the futures market and continue to be very impressed with the BTS offering,” said Chris Haworth, President of Born Technology. “Their passion and commitment to develop and deliver high quality, low latency trading software is exemplary. We are proud to partner with them and excited to offer this to the global trading community.”
