Products and Services

Acquant's AQTOR product family, encompassing four products, is used for quote management and trade solutions by sophisticated investment banking and specialist market-making firms, floor-based derivatives exchanges and trading arcades. AQTOR supports the publication of commodity, interest rate and index option prices, using proprietary scripting language to provide a level of quote calculation flexibility for users. Scripting can give traders a way to customize an automated quote management application to fit their particular needs.

Aside from published quote management, hidden quotes provide the ability to calculate and compare unpublished options prices. When published market prices cross an unpublished hidden quote, AQTOR generates an order on behalf of the trader.
