Maximize Trading Performance

Fortex Equities Plus provides traders with real-time, direct access to all U.S. exchanges, ECNs, and key market makers, enabling execution for equities, options, and futures trading. Streaming real-time data, multi-asset trading views, and a wide range of innovative order management and analytical support features put traders on top of market moves.

Real-time Performance for Real-time Market Advantage
Unlike trading products that can only provide service on request, Fortex Equities Plus provides real-time, streaming access to market data, pricing, trade execution, and multi-dealer auction trading from a single interface. Market data is automatically aggregated from all liquidity sources, enabling you to trade all markets through all available execution services from a single interface.

Speed to Spare
Equities Plus enables high-velocity trading with lighting-fast speed. Trades

are executed in less than 40 milliseconds, thanks to a multi-concurrent processing architecture and Fortex’s robust, world-class hosting infrastructure. You can easily handle tens of thousands of trades per session—even during the most chaotic market surges.

Advance Your Strategies
Equities Plus handles even your most sophisticated trading strategies and gives you valuable extra seconds for making decisions by eliminating the need to constantly move between applications or re-key data. Monitor market activity, analyze positions, and execute trading strategies in real time, using a variety of advanced analytical catalysts and risk management tools built into Equities Plus. Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and rule-based order management system (OMS) features facilitate optimal trading decisions across all markets. Rule-based OMS allows you to design and customize order management rules to support multiple trading strategies. AI routing features then automatically locate maximum liquidity, discover price improvement, and minimize market impact based on the rules you design.

Count on High Availability
Equities Plus runs on a fully redundant, carrier-class IT infrastructure. Designed to provide “always-on” performance for mission-critical traffic, the Fortex infrastructure includes real-time backup capabilities. Even if an outage occurs anywhere in the network, data is mirrored and instantly recoverable. Hot-swap features on critical network servers and network infrastructure mean that Equities Plus is never taken out of service—whether for routine IT maintenance or emergency service. And automatic downtime recovery features ensure that if network performance is interrupted for any reason, trading traffic is automatically re-routed through the network without missing a beat. You are ensured of continuous, reliable performance for maximum trading performance.

Easy to Use
Traders can only increase their trading success if their trading platform is easy to use. Equities Plus is known for its user-friendly interface and minimal learning curve. Not only can the user interface be quickly tailored to match your company’s brand, workflow, and processes, traders can further personalize their desktops to support their work styles and preferences.

Easy to Integrate
An array of application programming interface (API) products streamlines integration with existing program trading, trading automation initiatives, third-party products, and application development efforts. Fortex works with you to quickly deploy Equities Plus and ensure seamless interoperability with your trading environment.
