FlexTrade integrates SIX real-time market pricing and reference data into Spark EMS
“Delivering choice to our clients and prospects with out-of-the-box integrations to a selection of market-leading propositions, such as SIX, is at the heart of the Spark EMS offering.”
FlexTrade has integrated the global real-time market pricing and reference data from SIX into FlexTrade’s Spark cloud-based EMS solution.
The partnership with SIX allows clients of the provider of multi-asset execution and order management systems to use the Spark EMS to access and stream real-time global market data across multiple outputs, including desktop, browser, and API.
The new offering using SIX API, combined with the one-click deployment of FlexTrade’s cloud-based EMS solution, comes as a compelling off-the-shelf trading solution that can help to reduce time-to-market for new fund launches.
