The Nebula™ platform is a highly scalable, intelligent, communications fabric, designed to meet the latency and reliability demands of a high frequency exchange platform while providing the flexibility to trade complex derivatives. Unlike other low-latency exchange platforms,
Nebula ™ has a flexible architecture that allows it to support principal trade execution of any asset class, including virtual or implied liquidity sourced from existing constituent orders, and liquidity sourced from external venues.
The system allows traders to manually or electronically input orders onto the platform and hit or take prices electronically without voice intervention.
A variety of connectivity options have been made available as users can stream live tradable prices directly to the platform via a FIX API, directly through RMDS, via the client's own API or the platform’s own Excel Add-ins.
