“We’re seeing a strong movement toward higher frequency trading among quantitative hedge funds and other sophisticated trading firms.”

CFN Services, the provider of managed high-frequency trading enablement services, has announced the Alpha Platform™, a private cloud for automated trading. This low-latency market data and application delivery platform aims to improve automated trading performance across key liquidity venues in the equities, options, futures, derivatives, and FX markets.

"We're seeing a strong movement toward higher frequency trading among quantitative hedge funds and other sophisticated trading firms," said Sebastian Yoon, CFN Services' Vice President of Financial Services. "These firms are looking to accelerate their trading strategies, but the costs are often prohibitive. The Alpha Platform™ addresses this challenge, leveraging the same world class infrastructure that CFN deploys for our global high frequency trading clients."

CFN Services is partnering with providers of market and event data, along with trading application vendors to integrate turnkey solutions across the entire trading stack, from ticker plants and messaging, to risk management and complete OMS/EMS systems. With the ability to integrate third party software and services with proprietary applications, on single server in a single exchange to an interconnected global deployment, the Alpha Platform™ aims to offer complete flexibility and scalability.
