“We offer clients three choices: having Horizon create algos using the client’s specifications; we can train clients to do their own development; or we can create specific algo structures/skeletons, which allow the client to build advanced trading strategies quickly,” Posayajinda explained.

A Powerful HFT Product

The solution enables both the Buy-Side and sell-side institutions to use advanced algorithmic trading. The solution is supporting cross-asset and cross-product trading strategies involving deals on cash and derivatives markets.

Commenting on the partnership the ASEAN region, the sales director at Horizon, said: “KGI’s prop trading team have been using Horizon’s Delta One for the last three years. Along with the functionality offered by Delta One, KGI will benefit from our Algo Trading framework (technical indicators, scripting, complex event processing – CEP - tools, etc.), enabling the team to build proprietary systematic trading strategies.”
