Through our exciting collaboration with RTS, we are very pleased to extend our offering to RTS clients.

As part of the collaboration, RTS developed an interface into the Squared Financial platform featuring extensive market data on spot FX and precious metals. One of the first customers using this solution, Leonard Kok of Quantum Dynamics Management Pte Ltd. said, “I am currently using RTD Tango for algorithmic trading, and the inclusion of Squared Financial's spot FX and bullion prices into RTS will definitely open the door to new opportunities."
Andy Woodhouse said that clients of Squared Financial or RTS can choose to adopt RTS’ Tango OnDemand, which features a packaged solution for algorithmic trading in a fully hosted environment.
