Had a Webex demonstration of Tango. Looks very impressive... but so does the price. It is aimed at institutional traders
I see this a lot with obscure startups... These guys have near ZERO traffic: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=www.rtsgroup.de Sorry... But if I don't see GROWING traffic... Over a 1-2 year period... It's bye-bye... Because my business is not a guinea pig.
RTS is not a start up. its one of the more popular platforms used by trading firms. keep in mind these are not for retail clients; they're for real trading. you might want to look into orc software as well. if you're on a budget portware or aegis might be for you
You are compeletely wrong, QuantPlus ! RTS. A Matter Of Trade - Since 1992. Founded in 1992, RTS with its headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, came into existence at the very beginnings of global electronic trading. The company was conceived from the single idea to create a professional trading and front office system for the launch of the electronic exchange EUREX (formerly DTB) in Germany. The original electronic trading platforms of the Frankfurt exchange are XETRA (formerly IBIS) for trading stocks and bonds and EUREX for trading derivatives. By way of developing the trading and front office systems for IBIS, RTS accomplished its comprehensive breakthrough in the German stock market in 1994. With the new functionalities Click Trading and Basket Trading, RTS was bridging the gap in the market of electronic trading. Vision Became Reality In 1996/97 RTS developed a new state-of-the-art trading architecture, the RTD Realtime Trading Desktop , to access from one window multiple exchanges with extremely fast execution capabilities. The Internet Trading Solution (eRTD) was launched in 2000. In conjunction with RTD, it provides the Internet Trading Platform of the future. The development and design of the eRTD solution is based on RTS's extensive business experience. Since 2002, the RTD Matcher Solution (mRTD) enables the creation of a truly unique and customized electronic market where several variations of market models chosen by the individual customer are possible. Drawing further on the wealth of trader input, RTS has developed an open Application Programing Interface (RTD-API) allowing even more flexibility to customize own trading applications. Today, RTS is actively marketing its software solutions as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) and acts at the same time as a consultancy and service provider, Application Service Provider (ASP) and hardware reseller with an enhanced product portfolio including software and service. RTS's corporate strategy focuses on meeting the continually changing demands of the market, of the customers and providing quality solutions for electronic trading worldwide. Maybe now it´s clear to you why they have "near ZERO" traffic ...
