Rely on Orc for effective options market making and successful ETF trading

Free Algorithmic Trading Seminar in Paris on March 11th

The options market is a constantly changing marketplace and market makers need to quickly embrace the capabilities of powerful technologies in order to remain competitive. At the same time, the ETF segment continues its unceasing growth and becomes more and more attractive thanks to its qualities of flexibility, transparency and cost-efficiency.

Orc Software is pleased to invite you to a free seminar where we, together with representatives from the leading European exchanges Eurex and NYSE Euronext, will talk about the recent trends within these two major market segments and their rapid evolution. We will look into business opportunities today and in the future. Finally, we will talk about how existing customers today use Orc Trading to competitively make markets on trading venues around the world and how to make your ETF trading even more successful.
The seminar program will include demonstrations of Orc solutions for volatility trading, options market making, ETF trading and ETF market making.
Representatives from major banks and French financial institutions will be present at the seminar. Don´t miss this opportunity, register today!
