The NextGen system will provide a faster trading engine, perhaps the country's fastest, giving a big advantage to market participants. The new trading system will give a more dynamic experience to the user with features such as tick-by-tick broadcast and ease of executing complex trading strategies like butterfly and straddles.
It will also have improved capability to handle high frequency / algo trading. Additionally, it will be able to execute regulatory changes in a quick and efficient manner which will assist in efficient intra-day closure, pre-order checks and order flow monitoring.
"While every market infrastructure and its requirements are unique, MIT's technology is designed to meet those requirements in a timely, efficient way. Our ability to handle any asset class across a wide breadth of financial markets companies pays tribute to this," said Mack Gill, Chief Executive Officer, MIT.
