Goldman Sachs releases version 9.1 of REDIPlus
Goldman Sachs Electronic Trading (GSET) announced today the release of the latest version of REDIPlus, Goldman Sachs' execution management system. Version 9.1 features enhancements to options and futures trading as well as portfolio trading, and also introduces flexible solutions for clients using the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® service.
"Version 9.1 is the latest release in our long history of innovative execution management solutions for traders," said Rishi Nangalia, Managing Director and global head of GSET Business Development. "We continue to focus on global execution strategies and workspace usability to meet the diverse needs of our clients."
Key features of 9.1:
* Clients have the ability to streamline their desktop workflow
by launching Bloomberg screens from REDIPlus. Clients who utilize
both applications on the same PC will be able to click within
REDIPlus and select from a menu of functions on the BLOOMBERG
PROFESSIONAL service. REDIPlus users can also create custom
"hotkeys" that can be clicked to open up a particular screen or
access a particular function on the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL
service.
* Options traders can take advantage of the introduction of a
TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) algorithm, which complements
the existing nine advanced options strategies available in
REDIPlus. TWAP leverages the previously-launched "Strike" order
type to minimize market impact while accessing liquidity.
* Additional functionality includes Active Limit Options Analytic
Charting, a REDIPlus chart that displays a real-time graphical
representation of a Volatility or Delta Adjusted order limit
price and executions relative to the current market.
* Clients trading futures now have the ability to submit futures
calendar spread orders from an order management system (OMS) via
FIX. Strategy orders received via FIX can then be worked using
all of the existing REDIPlus trading functionality, including
algorithms. Executed orders are "dropped" back into the
customer's order management system for post trade processing.
* Customers trading US and Canadian shares can access the SIGMA
inter-listed router, which simultaneously scans US and Canadian
market venues and routes orders to the market where there is the
best opportunity for optimal execution.
* Clients trading portfolios of stoolios olios of stocks will be
able to measure the performance of their list against historical
benchmarks. This enhancement to performance analysis of
portfolios is offered in addition to previously available
intra-day performance benchmarks, such as bid, ask, last, open,
and prior close.
"REDIPlus' enhanced user-friendly interface and absolute flexibility help clients achieve their execution goals, whether they utilize algorithmic strategies for US listed options or trade portfolios of stocks across the European markets," said Nangalia.
