BELZCONNECT
BELZCONNECT is a highly reliable, low latency, economical solution for accessing financial markets efficiently and anonymously through a single point of connectivity. The result is a complete, flexible solution, customized to your needs. You plug in where you want – we’ll take care of the rest.
Gateway
The core of BELZCONNECT is our transactions gateway. The gateway is a high speed, bi-directional message translation engine that receives messages from a wide range of sources and formats them to the protocol of the destination. The open and flexible architecture of our gateway allows for a high degree of inter-operability between front-end applications, execution venues, and back-office systems. Our gateway software works as effectively with third party systems as it does with BELZTRADER and supports standard business protocols used in the financial industry. We also provide normalized real-time drop copies of messages and fully customizable reports for back office, risk, or regulatory needs.
Sponsored Access / Colocation to Markets
Our gateway can also be deployed outside of our network to fulfill the needs of high frequency/low latency clients. In a typical scenario, a client with a black box trading application that needs to be colocated in the datacenter of the market(s) they are trading would use our gateway software on a dedicated server.
Network
Our proprietary network connects to all major liquidity centres in Canada and the U.S. for options, equities and futures. Current connections include all option exchanges, all major equity exchanges and ECNs, as well as a growing list of market makers, 3rd party algorithms, order management systems, futures exchanges, and shared network facilities in Canada and the U.S. If a destination in not already on the list, we are able to add it quickly to suit our clients’ needs. Access is available via the Internet, VPN, dedicated circuit, and third party communications networks. This level of choice and flexibility means that we also offer inter-connectivity between the sell-side and the buy-side; buy-sides can route orders to virtually any sell-side institution using their existing order management systems, and route order flow directly to market (DMA) using multiple give ups.
