OMS enhancements include increased scalability and throughput, a new rules engine, and support for trading of fractional shares
Sterling Trading Tech (STT), a leader in multi-asset class technology solutions for the capital markets, today announced enhanced functionality for its order management system (OMS). With advanced features that include a risk-based rules engine and the ability to trade fractional shares, the system offers broker-dealers and their traders unprecedented power and flexibility. Designed for high-throughput specifications, the upgrades place the Sterling OMS among the fastest and most robust OMS solutions on the market .
STT’s infrastructure provides exceptional stability and scalability, allowing for the handling of increased volumes and order flow. Employing a REST API interface, the Sterling OMS also integrates easily with users’ other existing systems. The system is designed to easily incorporate additional features and grow along with user demand.
Emblematic of Sterling’s forward-looking approach to product development is the just-released functionality to support the trading of fractional shares. While many contemporary OMS systems do not have this functionality, STT added it to its OMS as fractional shares have become common in the current trading environment, particularly in the retail trading segment.
Enhanced features include adjustable platform parameters to match clients’ particular needs, advanced pre-trade risk capabilities and a new risk-based rules engine that provides greater flexibility in managing order flow.
