Exegy Expands Foreign Exchange Capabilities For New Business

Exegy Inc., a provider of high-performance hardware-accelerated market data appliances, has today announced the availability of three new feed handlers for foreign exchange venues. The new additions expand Exegy’s broad portfolio of over 200 market data feed handlers, including over 20 feed handlers for bank portals and ECN platforms for foreign exchange trading. Today, Exegy announced support for feeds from Bloomberg Tradebook, Currenex ITCH, and GAIN GTX.
 
The new feed handlers are included in new deployments of Exegy Ticker Plant appliances supporting a major bank portal for electronic foreign exchange trading. “We are delighted with the proliferation of Exegy solutions in the foreign exchange space,” said vice president of sales Steve Hughes. Exegy has an additional set of ten foreign exchange feed handlers scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2014. “Our market data feed handler portfolio is customer-driven,” added Hughes, “and we will continue to expand our feed handler portfolio as part of our premium managed service.”
 
Exegy is also touting its ability to deliver cross-venue liquidity views to trading applications. “The ability of our appliances to construct composite depth-of-market views across a user-specified set of markets at extremely low latency is a key differentiator,” said Hughes. “It has been a compelling feature for our equities and options users, but it is becoming increasingly important in the foreign exchange space.”
