A Powerful Spreading Tool for X_TRADER® Pro

Trading Technologies’ Autospreader Strategy Engine (Autospreader SE) is a server-based spreader that enhances the performance of TT’s Autospreader application. Autospreader SE combines the benefits of high-performance computing with the flexibility and ease of use of TT’s award-winning X_TRADER® trading screen.

Implemented as a high-performance, multi-threaded server, Autospreader SE is designed to be hosted in close proximity to an exchange’s matching engine. This eliminates geographic latency and enables sub-millisecond quoting and hedging.

By placing the Autospreader logic on a server rather than on the trader’s desktop, TT’s Autospreader SE allows traders to:

• Run hundreds of simultaneous spreads on a single server with sub-millisecond performance
• Choose an Autospreader SE server that is closest to the exchange being traded
• Spread overseas markets without incurring geographic latency
• Receive synthetic fill prices as the server executes spread orders
• Gain the benefits of proximity-based computing without learning a new tool

Minimum Latency, Maximum Scalability

When running a spread on Autospreader SE, all legs are quoted and hedged on the server, eliminating the round trip to and from the desktop. In addition to removing geographic latency through proximity-based computing, Autospreader SE is designed to provide a high degree of scalability. Autospreader SE is a concurrent multithreaded server application that takes advantage of multi-core CPU architectures. The software detects and adapts to the number of available cores to provide maximum performance and scalability.

Customers can install one or more Autospreader SE servers in each of their hosting or collocation facilities. This enables users to select the optimal Autospreader SE server for any given spread. For example, with Autospreader SE, a trader running both Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Eurex spreads can achieve sub-millisecond performance on all spread requoting and hedging by choosing to run CME spreads on a Chicago-based Autospreader SE server while simultaneously running Eurex spreads on a Frankfurt-based Autospreader SE server.

Uses the Existing Autospreader® Interface

Users familiar with the Autospreader graphical user interface (GUI) in X_TRADER can immediately gain the benefits of server-based execution without a learning curve. The only change to the TT front end is the addition of an intuitive drop-down menu that allows the user to select an Autospreader SE on which to run a spread. Existing Autospreader users can be up and running immediately and confidently without training or practice.
