RAPTOR ORDER ROUTER

Raptor Servers are installed within clients' data centers. Traditionally a pair of high availability servers are setup and configured on the client network, with the desktop application installed on the traders workstation. Both rule-based order routing and manual order routing is viewed via this interface. All buy-side clients and networks are connected via FIX to the Raptor server. The Raptor support team or an onsite administrator can remotely configure your client connectivity. The server will establish connectivity to your OMS systems based on your business model. Typical destinations include:

• Program desk OMS
  
• OTC OMS
  
• listed OMS
  
• DMA system
  
• Algorithmic trading desk
  
• Crossing engine
  
• Any other combination of the above
  

The administrator or advanced user can setup dynamic routing rules based on your business model. Raptor can accommodate almost any complex routing rule including algorithmic tags. At any time the trader can see what the order status is, and what's going back to the client. For details on the automated delivery or manual entry of indications please read below.
