Buy-Side Technology Awards 2017: Best Buy-Side Commodities Trading Platform—Rival Systems
Automation adds speed and accuracy. This is vital in all forms of trading, but especially so in the commodity options spread markets where volumes have ballooned recently. The futures markets in commodities are also highly illiquid and can whip around at breakneck speeds, D’Arco says. When doing this manually, opportunities can be lost instantly. When combining the above-mentioned capabilities, commodities traders can use the Rival platform to predict when the market will move, which allows them to get ahead of the curve in revising their quotes and trade with resting orders before the underlying top-of- book updates. “There’s functionality that just works out-of-the-box and it’s geared toward making it easier for people to use, especially in the commodity markets to run automated making strategies, taking strategies and giving them the tools that are at the same level as the other best proprietary systems out there,” D’Arco says.
On top of its efforts in the automation space, Rival has also been busy pushing into the energies market. The challenge here is that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and the Nasdaq Futures Exchange (NFX) list virtually the same products, D’Arco says. Rival has created functionality to allow users to trade on all three exchanges and have the ability to—once more—automatically manage each different set of products, depending on the exchange, rather than how traders currently do this, which is a largely manual process. And for 2018, Rival Systems will look to grow its presence by expanding its operations into Asia and into the equity options market, D’Arco says. While Rival is young, it is also maturing rapidly.
