Metro Store Front
Thank you for visiting the Metro Store Front. The following apps further extend the Metro platform, allowing users to customize their trading experience with additional execution, analytics, and pricing functionality.
Advanced Order App
The Advanced Order App allows futures and options traders to place complex orders that cannot be done using just exchange-supported logic. Users can place limit or market orders as well as place contingent stop loss orders at a user-determined number of ticks behind the executed price of that order.
Auto-Hedger
The “Auto-Hedger” job is a delta-sensitive automated hedging tool that supports realtime, dual-decision passive (ie, “work 1 tick better”) and aggressive (ie, “lift”) modes of execution across a wide variety of configurations.
BBO Trading App
With the introduction of the NASDAQ Futures exchange, there are now 3 different commodity exchanges that list energy products. These are CME, ICE and now Nasdaq Futures (NFX). The BBO Order Router facilitates trading between these 3 commodity exchanges by allowing the trader to trade, with 1 order, across all 3 different exchanges (or 2 if that’s what they’ve configured).
Auto-RFQ
The “Auto-RFQ” job allows the user to configure rules to automatically respond to strategy RFQs in precise, predetermined ways.
Depth Finder
Using market data and order info the widget can provide a real-time estimate of the queue position of one’s orders and can help anyone manually working orders in a FIFO market.
Dynamic Skew App
Robust market data handling and modeling logic allow the algo to perform well during all market conditions, and with much less latency risk than in a manual curve update process. The DSA exposes fleeting vol trading opportunities that previously could not be realized.
Eurex SRQS Responder
The Eurex SRQS Responder helps users of Metro who are market makers to respond to selective RFQs and confirm deals from within Metro without having to use Eurex Trader.
Futures Scalper
The “Futures Scalper” job allows the user to automatically trade specified futures contracts around user-defined scalp and profit intervals.
Margin Calculator
The CME Margin Calculator is designed to let Metro users view their initial and maintenance margins for their CME cleared products along with the Net Option Value and Net Future Value.
P&L Tracker
The Trade Alert Widget provides users with a convenient way to be notified whenever an order has been booked.
Price Alert
The Price Alert widget notifies users if a selected instrument reaches or passes an inputted target price. The widget is intended primarily for brokers, as well as traders that are dealing with broker markets.
Profiteer Engine
The “Axonetric LLC: Profiteer Engine” is a sophisticated and feature-rich job that allows users to automatically seek out and execute on edge-based opportunities, based upon different configurable strategies.
Quote Monitor
The Quote Monitor allows market makers to monitor and report their market making activity against the obligations on the CBOE (the widget can be configured to handle other exchanges as well).
Realized Futures Volatility Calculator
Users can use this app to see a calculation of Realized Volatility for any configured future. This app was built based on an increasing demand by traders to use realized volatility information as a component of their decision-making process while trading.
Spread Matrix
Vela’s Spread Matrix provides the user with a single window view of futures spread market data as well as execution capabilities. The widget will display any number of futures months and the corresponding spread values between each in a single screen.
Trade Alert
The Trade Alert Widget provides users with a convenient way to be notified whenever an order has been booked.
Underlying Offset Controller (Classic)
The Underlying Offset Controller (Classic) allows the user to increase Metro’s functionality with regard to offsets.
Underlying Offset Controller 2
Like the Initial Underlying Offset Controller, the Underlying Offset Controller 2 allows the user to increase Metro’s functionality with regard to offsets.
Volatility Fitting App
The Volatility Fitting App allows for automated management of volatility curves across various products and instrument months.
Volatility Levels
The VolLevels algo is a critical analysis tool for options traders using Vela’s Metro platform.
