Choosing A Platform
Choosing the right trading platform to suit a particular trader's needs is crucial.
This holds true whether you are the senior trader at a hedge fund, a developer looking
to code your trading algorithm and plug it directly into the futures markets, a
CTA who needs to have allocation management and access multiple futures accounts,
or a retail trader who wants to trade a single futures product. At Velocity, our
customers have the ability to choose from among several leading trading platforms,
select from a full range of product functionality and connectivity, and manage the
cost of the software license with a variety of subscription options. Flexible commission rates are offered for every
trading platform, including commission schedules that require NO monthly subscription
fees. Velocity is committed to offering its clients access to state-of-the-art trading
software, anchoring all of the trading platforms on the most robust, reliable and
stable network backbone in the industry, and supporting it with a
Live Trade Desk and 24-hour service.
Features & Functionality
Futures markets are truly global, with a wide array of products traded on exchanges
worldwide, around the clock. Asset allocation towards commodities and futures is
growing rapidly, and these demands have been directed at the trading software to
keep up. This means loads of functionality, available at your fingertips, with advanced
analytics and strategies just clicks away. This means access to multiple exchanges
from the CME and CBOT, to ICE and NYMEX, to Eurex and LIFFE. Futures trading software
must be dynamic and able to interface via FIX or API so that quantitative strategies
and algorithms can be input with minimal latency. Velocity offers a software solution
for every client, trader, and developer, across the globe.
Cost Analysis
Every client of Velocity has an eye on costs, whether they are measured in Pounds
sterling, milliseconds, Euros, excess network hops, monthly subscription fees, or
pennies per contract. Introducing brokers, retail traders, and hedge funds alike
all analyze the costs of doing business. At Velocity, we offer every individual
and organization a cost-effective solution to gain access to the futures markets.
Our commission schedules are flexible with
multiple options including monthly subscription and some of the most competitive
in the industry. High volume clients will want to explore solutions with our Professional
Services Team, such as CME Memberships and Seat Leases to further drive down per
contract costs.
Most of all, at Velocity we are transparent. Velocity posts its commission rates
online, for everyone to see. How many other futures FCMs can you say that about?
They want you to submit your phone number to their Salesmen, find out what volume
you are going to trade, and then pick your commission rate for you. At Velocity,
we let you make the choices.
Trading Technologies
In electronic screen based futures trading, there has emerged one clear technology
provider that has established the Gold Standard in the industry: Trading Technologies.
TT has used its development team to construct one of the most stable price and execution
back-ends ever produced in the electronic trading world. This is why Velocity has
selected TT as its partner for supplying software platforms to its clients. Trading
Technologies has set the bar for performance, and Its X_TRADER®
and X_TRADER® Pro platforms are used by the
pro's. Velocity only offers software that is molded onto the TT backbone, and have
full functionality like NinjaTrader. If there were other software products out there that offered
the same speed and stability, Velocity would offer it.
Direct Connectivity
Velocity employs some of the most advanced network data center and connectivity
technology in the futures industry. With data centers in Chicago and Houston, Velocity
has the redundant network infrastructure that allows our clients to connect their
trading platforms to the futures markets from all over the world. Whether it's via
private gigabit networks, leased T-3 lines, high-speed Internet connections, or
a hosted blade server running your Fund's latest algorithm, Velocity has a connectivity
solution for every trading strategy and every client.
Network infrastructure: Fast, Reliable and Stable
The trading software Velocity provides to its clients is state-of-the-art, and our
network must be reliable and stable at all times. Velocity has invested hundreds
of thousands of dollars into building the infrastructure the company relies on to
provide the highest standard of service in the industry. And we continue to do so.
We settle for nothing less than maximum speed across our entire network. Our clients
demand market quotes and trade orders over a network that is optimized for speed,
stability, and reliability. And Velocity delivers.
24-Hour Support
We strive to make the customer experience as satisfying as possible. That means
fast responses, knowledgeable support staff, and easy to manage account setup. Velocity
understands that each client experience is different, and we must be flexible and
accommodating to ensure that your needs are met and your questions answered. Velocity
has a 24 Hour Trade and Support Desk to expertly handle all of your software inquiries.
We can help you choose a platform, download and install the software, help you troubleshoot
your system, and answer any questions you might have. Sign up for a live or simulated account
and get started.
