Peresys announces a new version of perFIX trader

Peresys, a global technology solutions provider to the financial community this month announced a new version of perFIX trader after its initial launch almost a year ago.

PerFIX trader is a FIX compliant Execution Management System (EMS) which makes electronic trading easy for both the buy- and sell side clients. It is an instant off the shelf solution for equity DMA, order routing and equity derivative trade reporting. This technology solution is hosted in the Peresys Business Process Network (BPN). Although a dedicated connection is preferred for trading services and optimal user experience, various connectivity options are available.

The latest version has significant improvements in functionality, look and feel and speed of execution.

Says Ray Pretorius, director of FIX Solutions at Peresys, “The new look and feel of perFIX trader enhances the user’s experience, especially the introduction of a new home page, which allows you to trade, view prices and your order book all from a single page. The home page is probably all you need to use for day-to-day trading, be it for order routing, DMA or Single Stock Futures.”

The key features of the one-view home page include:

• clicking the bid or offer price populates order entry fields with default values;
• depth available for instrument value in order entry;
• order book always visible, even during order entry;
• order entry available while scrolling your order book;
• automatic refresh intervals for Watch list and order book utilizing latest technology components;
• Shortcut links to other favourite pages.

PerFIX trader is functionally rich and designed to add value and efficient trading to buy side fund managers for order routing, DMA clients, SSF traders, market makers and brokers.
