Market aggregation can be used in conjunction with CQG Spreader for low-latency execution of orders comprised entirely of aggregated legs or any combination of outright and aggregated legs. The smart order routing capabilities of CQG’s aggregation help achieve best execution by allowing traders to set personal preferences, including the preferred market.
“From an early stage in the development of NLX we have focused on partnering with vendors who facilitate ease of connectivity to our market”, said Charlotte Crosswell, CEO of NLX. “We are delighted that CQG will provide market data and trade execution so their customers can benefit from accessing our market.”
NASDAQ OMX NLX will launch with six interest rate futures products: Euribor, Sterling, Long Gilt, Schatz, Bobl, and Bund contracts. The exchange has partnered with LCH.Clearnet to clear all products.
