Validation/improvement of strategy performance and routing for external brokers

Compliance and best execution requirements

Strategic measurement of trading performance (for sophisticated desks with input into the calibration of algos in partnership with brokers, or perhaps for hedge funds with their own execution strategies)

What are the alternative solutions? What are their disadvantages?

In-house build (this is not a key focus for the buy-side so the uplift can be quite heavy to do it well)

Some firms are tied to one vendor for a long time which can limit flexibility and innovation in the marketplace

What are the advantages of using big xyt’s solutions?

Web-based application with rich visualisations and powerful API access to liquidity analytics of global markets

Gain an understanding of the approach of your peers

Outlier detection, spot trends, custom solutions (e.g. algo wheel), report generation, feedback for performance testing and improvement

How long is the implementation and what resources are required from the client?

Our API is immediately available for those firms with in-house capability to use it

The onboarding process involves understanding your data model, file transfer, and demonstrating that our solution is as at least as good, if not better, than you may have already

What are the results/beneficial outcomes? What could you do now that you couldn’t do before?

Better time management (in busy/volatile times traders need to concentrate on their day job yet analysis is key at those times so a maintained available solution is invaluable)
