LIQUIDITYBOOK Trading - Instant Message and Web Based Execution Management System

LIQUIDITYBOOK is an AOL certified partner providing real-time instant messaging for equities, equity options, foreign exchange, and commodities trading. Traders also have access to LIQUIDITYBOOK's full suite of trading services - all manageable through an ASP/SOA BOT-based, encrypted, dynamically updating web blotter.

Seamless Integration between IM and the Web

Moving between the instant messenger and the blotter requires only a few key strokes. More importantly, actions taken in either the instant messenger or the web blotter are instantaneously reflected in the other - allowing for two front end options - with order monitoring and management immediately available regardless of entry preference.

Portability

Since LIQUIDITYBOOK gives user's the ability to trade from remote locations in a secure environment, its portability allows for management viewing from multiple locations. Whether in the same office, or any other location, LIQUIDITYBOOK clients can access services via many mechanisms, including hand held PDA's.

Trader's "Natural" Language

Traders typically resist change, particularly when it involves altering their style of order entry. LIQUIDITYBOOK was designed so that traders do not have to accommodate computer mandated language, and instead allows for a trader's "typical" language style including customized instructions. Internally and automatically, LIQUIDITYBOOK reconfigures the trader's entry into the industry standard language accepted by the FIX protocol.

Shared Blotters

Desks frequently work in teams, and traders often "back-up" each other. LIQUIDITYBOOK allows for multiple traders to share blotters, monitor trades, and respond to client requests.

Intra-Desk Trading

Traders can initiate or receive client orders in any asset class and electronically deliver that order to the appropriate trader within their own organization. No re-keying is required, and the error rate is virtually eliminated.

Proprietary and 3rd Party Integration

Firms often use proprietary or 3rd party systems for order management. While the LIQUIDITYBOOK management system continues to operate in the background for orders entered through instant message and/or the web blotter, it was also designed to integrate with proprietary systems, and accommodates 3rd party systems through drop copies.
