Trading solutions

The GL Stream^TM for Derivatives product family provides solutions for trading all types of listed futures & options, for both proprietary and agency trading firms, with a range of functionality to suit all types of trading activities: from simple buy and sell needs to complex automated F&O strategies:

• Spread trading, including butterfly and condor strategies, is enabled via the GL SpreadMatrix module
• GL QuickTrade allows market depth trading so that opportunities can be seized rapidly
• GL Combo Trader extends scope to cover complex combined strategies, potentially with many legs and across multiple markets
• Basket trading and arbitrage against index futures are supported via GL Program Trader Plus
• GL Rubyx provides advanced functionality for trading and market making in options and warrants
• User-defined pricers and automated trading strategies can be built on the interfaces provided by GL Automate
• The GL Tactics suite provides an extensive library of synthetic order types and standard algorithms, as well as a development workbench for more complex algo strategies
• FIX standards for interfaces to applications and client order flows are fully supported
• Allocations can be handled in the front office if required.

You can manage order flow across sales and trading functions and/or multiple offices as required, based on the GL Stream^TM Order Management architecture. And we offer a range of solutions for the collection of client orders, via GL Net or your own network, using either the popular GL Winway windows workstation or GL Tr@der, our thin-client solution (meaning that no software has to be installed at clients' premises).

Interfacing from GL Stream^TM to mid-and back office systems is straightforward, where GL Clearvision and GL Ubix suites provide full support for matching, clearing, risk monitoring, settlement and reporting.
