7ticks, a provider of high performance trading network solutions, is now offering access to European-based derivatives products, starting with NYSE Liffe. As a Managed Services Provider (MSP) connecting via NYSE Technologies’ Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure (SFTI) network, 7ticks will offer clients direct connectivity to NYSE Liffe, as well as other London based exchanges. With the goal of getting trading times down to the lowest common denominator, 7ticks has microsecond level insight into network architecture and latency, with a suite of advanced monitoring tools to help institutions, latency sensitive hedge funds, and proprietary trading firms make quicker and clearer decisions, with lower costs.
