Orc Provides Connectivity to Brazilian Market Via Alpes

Orc Software said it will offer clients access to Brazilian markets through the broker Alpes Corretora de Cambio (Alpes).

Alpes’ clients will be able to utilize Orc’s low latency trading infrastructure to deploy strategies for high-frequency trading including arbitrage, spread trading, volatility trading and market making. Orc delivers sophisticated pricing, risk management, and volatility management tools to capitalize on the growing Brazilian trading environment. Rather than build their own tools from scratch, with Orca’s products, traders can begin trading more quickly, the company said.

“The tools previously available in the Brazilian market did not meet the demands of many of our customers,” stated Pedro Machado, in charge of Institutional Sales at Alpes, in the release. “These traders sought solutions that they could get running quickly and with less effort, without sacrificing the high-performance necessary for success. Orc can deliver this to our customers and we are delighted to have them as our partner.”

Ruben Guerrero, Strategic Partnership Manager at Orc Software, commented in the release: “Brazil is a rapidly growing market with a strong local trading community. Alpes is one of the leading brokers in this community and gives our common customers fast and convenient access to trade in Brazil. Orc’s solutions are designed to be high performance and easy to deploy. We believe that traders in Brazil will be able to take advantage of these tools to compete successfully as the market grows.”

Solutions designed for high frequency trading are expected to be in the highest demand, according to Orc in the release. Hosted at Alpes or colocated at the BM&FBovespa, Orca’s server -based technology provides an “out-of-the-box” product, such as Orc Spreader for arbitrage and spreading, which gives traders low-latency trading solutions that can be quickly deployed in the market. Orc Trader offers a click-trading product with pricing, risk management and volatility management features that provide analytics for traders.
