Horizon Software (Horizon), the world’s leading provider of electronic trading solutions and algorithmic technology, has today been announced as the winner of this year’s Intelligent Trading Technology Awards in the ‘Best Sell-Side EMS’ category.

The awards, designed to acknowledge excellence in trading technology within capital markets, focus on the community of specialised suppliers of trading operations technology.
