Perhaps no other component of the trading stack is as =E2=80=9Cpersonal= =E2=80=9D as the user interface. The trading UI is a virtual extension of t= he trader=E2=80=99s workflow which imposes unique customization challenges = for clients with multiple traders. We have designed our UI to provide our c= lients with maximum flexibility =E2=80=93 including the option to not use o= ur UI at all.
Photon is the command and control centre of the Marketcetera platform bu= ilt around the workflow of a quantitative trader. This out of the box UI pr= ovides an easy-to-use graphical environment for placing trades, starting an= d stopping algorithms, monitoring activity and managing positions. Photon i= ncludes built-in support for dynamic lists, short-cuts and actions, allowin= g you to easily customize and streamline your workflow for a better overvie= w and superior market penetration. Marketcetera has true support for multi-= listed instruments, enabling you to easily spread liquidity across any mark= et connected in the system, from native market access through to FIX connec= tivity via a broker.
Photon is an Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) application that offers = tremendous deployment flexibility. The architecture includes a library of = =E2=80=9Cwidgets=E2=80=9D that can be moved, re-sized or eliminated includi= ng a shares pricing watch, intraday and history charts with technical analy= sis indicators, level II/market depth view, news watching, and P&L. Pho= ton is cross-platform, out of the box we support Windows, Linux, and OS X a= nd we could create other distributions as necessary. Like the back end, the= Photon module is designed with an open architecture supporting plug-ins fo= r user modifications. Easily add third party or proprietary components for = news and data, charting, graphing, analytics, and more.
Built to integrate with a wide array of market data sources, news feeds,= and more, Photon is an ideal environment to deploy and monitor strategies = as automated modules called Strategy Engines. Marketcetera=E2=80=99s manual= trading supports banks, proprietary trading firms, hedge funds and investm= ent banks, across many trading areas including stocks, options, volatility = trading, ETFs and basket trading.
With Marketcetera=E2=80=99s rich API and Module framework, integration t= o other systems is made easy. Clients have the option to use the Marketcete= ra UI or we can integrate with their custom UI. Many clients either leverag= e their existing UI or custom build one to suit the specific requirements o= f their trading desk. Photon is a thick client, for example, and many large= r clients prefer a thin client solution for support reasons, international = clients prefer a UI localized in their language, etc., etc.
