BOX Options Exchange

Independent Software Vendors

Many Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are compatible with the BOX trading engine and offer front end trading applications for BOX Participants. Others are actively preparing their software for connectivity to the BOX trading engine. Links to the websites of many of these vendors are provided below.

Note that each of the ISVs proposes a particular package and perimeter of services; it is up to the BOX Participant to verify which provide the functionalities (eg, market making, order routing, "electric eye") and technical connectivity (hardware and telecoms requirements) which best suit his trading needs. In particular, BOX Participants should refer to the details regarding Software Certification for connection to BOX to obtain the complete inventory of BOX trading engine functionalities and determine what is appropriate for their business requirements. BOX has defined three separate set of criteria for certification to meet the minimum requirements of the following business activities:

  • Market Making
  • Proprietary
  • Agency

For details on the scope of functionalities covered by each of the three segments, see Software Certification.
