Stellar responds instantly, even in the busiest of market conditions.
Uniquely, every aspect of the front-end, from price ladders and view, to order book and spread matrix, is fully customizable allowing traders to tailor their screen layout identical to that of their existing system. This minimizes the disruption and time out of the market that is traditionally associated when switching to a new trading system, whilst the trader benefits from enhanced performance.
Function highlights include:
The Stellar spreadMachine is an ultimate server-based cross-market, cross-product, spreading tool. Its performance and constant increasing functionality sets it apart from competitors.
The spreadMachine automatically works inter-market spreads on the trader's behalf, managing leg orders and balancing the spread as required. Complex trading strategies can be implemented with the spreadMachine, capable of executing spreads with multiple legs, any number of which may be working in the market. All of Stellar’s powerful synthetic order types are also compatible with the spreadMachine such as icebergs and bracket order types on spreads, providing unparalleled flexibility and execution.
In today's markets automated systems frequently compete with one another. To be effective, automated spread execution demands exceptional performance. Uniquely, the Stellar spreadMachine operates at the core of the trading system - it is a server based system designed for deployment within exchange colocation facilities. This allows it to build upon the high performance order routing engine within the Stellar architecture and respond to market movement as fast as possible. The spreadMachine harnesses the power of its server hardware, while leaving the trader's workstation free to focus on order entry and price display. This provides traders with a strategic advantage in today’s markets.

It utilizes the same cutting-edge and proven technologies employed in the Stellar spreadMachine to maximize performance, scalability and integration.
