Trade Explorer

The Trade Explorer provides sophisticated analytics tools that enable users to understand market liquidity and flows, market share, business concentration, and execution performance. It also delivers tools for analysing trading patterns and for pre-trade decision support.

The platform enables trading venues to distribute data analytics solutions to their information services customers, including the trading firms, issuers and investors that comprise a finance ecosystem. The solutions are delivered directly to end users through web hosted services under the branding of a sponsoring venue, meaning rapid time to market and low cost of ownership.

Using unique peer group rankings, trading firms can explore their market share, examine how they interact with the order book, and view their trading performance.

As well as enhancing management oversight, the tools enable client-facing staff to discover highly granular information about their trading flows and identify their competitive advantages.

White-labelling also enables clients to monetise their information services further, creating a new revenue stream for the exchange or trading venue.
