Horizon Enhances Its Cross-Asset Electronic Platform Horizon Extend, Focuses on Trading-as-a-Service Offering

Horizon Software (Horizon), the provider of electronic trading solutions and algorithmic technology for the global capital markets, today announced that it has updated Horizon Extend, its cross-asset electronic platform for principal and agency trading.

Horizon Extend is designed to support leveraging functions and new building functions, as well as the ability to add advanced routing rules for DMA (direct market access) flow. With this tool, users can create new pricing modules and hedgers, to automate their workflow and extend a more transparent, flexible and open trading environment.

In 2023, Horizon will be absorbed in expanding its Trading-as-a-Service offering around the globe, keeping the focus on bringing together agency trading and market making on one platform. This includes scaling up the asset classes that are covered to meet growing client demand for digital assets. Besides, the company will improve its capabilities to handle high-volume order flows from clients to the market.

"Our objective is to offer a development platform as well as a trading platform. Helping our clients develop the right functions to fit their needs is our priority, using either our modules or developing their own. Our developers are using the same tools to build our solutions, so we know it works and we continue to focus our attention on improving our offering", said Olivier Masdebrieu, Chief Technology Officer of Horizon.
