While Market Data message rates continue to increase, straining your systems and infrastructure, your users need that data delivered faster than ever before.

Trading Metrics helps you solve that problem, in real time and at both today's and tomorrow's message rates.

First, throughput monitoring tracks the message-per-second rates to tell you how fast those rates are growing and how long it takes to get market data to your users. Second, latency monitoring identifies all sources of delays, from the exchange through to your traders and algorithmic trading systems. This is done in real time, with alerting that can be integrated into your operations management and email systems.

Significant investment is made in IT each year to reduce market data latency. But how do you evaluate the effectiveness of all the options available? Trading Metrics comes with a comprehensive set of reports and a User Interface that allows you to filter and compare the latency and throughput statistics. Now, you can benchmark your operations and when you pilot system enhancements, you can test the actual effectiveness.

Determining where and when latency is introduced, can be problematic.
Latency can be introduced at many points: by the FIX engines receiving the orders, within the market data distribution platform, by the processing time for analytics, at the point of origin of the data and/or by the travel time of the data through consolidated or direct feeds.

To Manage the speed of your trading operations, a comprehensive and expandable approach is needed.
