Orc Market Making

Primary Market Making

Mass quoting, diming and automated mispricing detection are just a few Orc Market Making tools used to gain trading advantage. Orc’s mass quoting functionality generates one or two-sided quotes around a theoretical price. Diming joins current market prices or improves upon them, allowing prices to always be competitive. Automated trading quickly detects any mispricing in the market, and can be configured to trade on the opportunity or display an alert.

Responsive Market Making

Responding to quote requests can be automated using Orc Market Making. Automatic responses to a quote request can be sent according to theoretical prices and quote width. Responses can be configured to a specific width and market life, with built-in delay when required.

Hedging Trades for Limited Exposure

Quick hedging is one of the most important tools for limiting risk. Orc’s automated hedging functionality can rapidly send orders in the designated hedge contract to eliminate directional risk. The hedge price can be sent as a market price or the implied underlying price of the trade. Hedge prices can also be manipulated to help ensure orders are filled. Traders can hedge on a per-trade basis or a cumulative delta position basis.
