Adaptive Financial Consulting, a specialist in electronic trading technology solutions, has partnered with with KCx, Kepler Cheuvreux’s execution division, to develop a new event-driven trading system based on Aeron and its own Hydra technology.

According to a press statement, the long-term collaboration provides KCx with a front-office execution equities platform that allows clients to observe and manage KCx’s advanced execution flow through a single interface. The new system builds on KCx’s algorithmic trading capabilities by connecting its global equities trading ecosystem through sequencer-based technical architecture.

The new trading system was built using Hydra, Adaptive’s proprietary development technology that aims to accelerate and simplify the creation of complex real-time trading systems, on a hybrid tech stack that can run on premises or in the cloud.
