GUI TOOLS

Our GUI Tools are a robust and flexible way for traders and risk managers to view and interact with live and historical market data, analytics, risk records, and our routing algos.

The evolution of these tools was born out of continual client feedback over years of operation. Currently, we offer 11 specifically-designed applications meant to give users access to all aspects of the SpiderRock system. These tools are designed to support multiple trading styles and enhance a user’s ability to interact with the market.
