Egar adds options component to equity derivatives suite
“So much more electronic trading is now taking place, especially in Chicago and Philadelphia, that the market makers are familiarising themselves with off-the-floor trading,” Ravi Jain, chief executive of Egar Technology, told RiskNews. “In the next couple of years, if we find the floor has become obsolete because of electronic trading, then these guys can pack-up and move upstairs.”
ETS supports trade entry and real-time market view screens, detailed risk analysis and decision support tools via its proprietary implied volatility data.
According to Jain, Egar technology will announce the names of two new clients shortly – an options market maker on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and a New York-based market maker with an ‘established’ presence on the American Stock Exchange and International Securities Exchange (ISE).
“We also aim to extend our services to a number of the large investment banks, especially on the electronic market-making side,” said Jain. “Some, like Deutsche Bank, have already developed in-house systems to make markets on the ISE, but there are several that have not, and we are working on introducing our theoretical value and volatility management engines to them.”
