ION, a provider of trading automation and workflow software, high-value analytics and strategic advice, announces the successful integration of its fixed income solutions with XTP Execution, expanding clients’ access to a range of futures markets for trading and market data.
ION’s XTP Execution (XTPE) is an automated front-office workflow solution developed for clearing derivatives transactions. It provides users with integrated order management capabilities, advanced order execution, direct connection to all major global exchanges and indirect access to local exchanges through a wide network of execution brokers.
XTPE’s integration with ION Desktop and ION Bus will give ION’s fixed income clients access to an extensive range of futures markets, offering centralized, seamless access to users. Traders will be able to access the markets without having to be a member of the exchange. For dealers already using XTPE for their FCM business, it provides an option to unify futures connectivity between FCM and FI lines of business.
In addition to reducing their time to market to access additional liquidity, clients will benefit from reduced support and infrastructure costs, making global trading operations more flexible and cost-effective.
Tommaso Di Grazia, Head of Fixed Income Product Development, ION Markets, says:
“We are in constant dialogue with our clients to understand their evolving needs, such as the need for a unified trading platform that can transform front-office efficiency. In response, we are proud to integrate our flagship fixed income solutions with XTP Execution. The integration will provide our customers with the enhanced connectivity and flexibility they need to differentiate themselves in a challenging market landscape.”
