Algorithmic Trading

The Progress® Apama® Algorithmic Trading Platform is the financial industry's leading platform for algorithmic trading. Apama enables electronic trading operations to quickly design, test, implement and evolve automated strategies that incorporate unique trading techniques. With the Apama algorithmic platform, both sell-side and buy-side firms can implement trading strategies that monitor and analyze events received from real-time market feeds and take action in milliseconds—even when incoming rates reach tens of thousands of events per second and concurrent trading strategies number in the thousands.

Apama's "white box" platform allows traders to rapidly develop and implement trading strategies that leverage their own intellectual property. Those strategies can exploit Apama's unique, patented Complex Event Processing (CEP) platform to monitor unprecedented levels of market activity and respond instantly, capitalizing on advanced insights with sophisticated trading actions.

Empowering Traders

The Apama Event Modeler provides a unique graphical development environment that enables traders to rapidly compose and deploy algorithmic trading strategies. Event Modeler reduces the algorithmic development cycle from weeks or months to days or hours.

The Broadest Set of CEP-based Trade Strategies

The Apama platform includes a wide array of pre-built trading, analytic and order management algorithms that include VWAP, EWMA, MACD, OBV Calculators, Basket Calculators and others. Fully customizable, these algorithms are the foundation for creation of new proprietary strategies – or usable "as is".

Multi-Asset Class Connectivity

With over 30 integration adapters encompassing equities, foreign exchange, fixed income, and derivatives markets, Apama's broad range of connectivity includes Reuters Triarch, GLTrade, EBS, FIX, Hotspot, and many more. In addition, the Apama integration environment enables the platform to be extended to integrate with any data source, including, for example, proprietary, internal systems often found in many firms.

Highly Customizable Dashboards

Apama's graphically rich, customizable dashboards provide a real-time view into market and trade activity, with drill-down capabilities into individual market/trade actions. Traders can monitor trade strategy execution, configure notifications, start and stop strategies, and fine tune trading parameters.

Rapid Trading Strategy Backtesting

Apama Research Studio provides a sophisticated real-time backtesting environment for pre-deployment analysis of new strategies and audits of those already implemented. Strategists can start/stop, speed up/slow down transaction rates and go to specific periods to test strategies. Backtesting also supports auditing of existing history and strategies, enabling traders to execute comparative what-if analyses.
