The application was coded using JBoss, HornetQ, Oracle, Oracle Coherence (in-memory database), Esper (complex event processing (CEP)).

The application was coded using JBoss, HornetQ, Oracle, Oracle Coherence (in-memory database), Esper (complex event processing (CEP)). The application: • creates rules and accounts at different levels and associates them with any combination to allow pre and post trade evaluation. Rules can be of different complexity such as “Only Invest,” “Do Not Invest,” “Restrict,” “Combo.” • provides for real-time evaluation of trade before sending any order to exchange thus staying in compliance and avoiding penalties. • performance improved more than 50%, because all aggregates for position and account levels are generated and kept in in-memory for evaluation.

Fetch real time underlying price and option price from Activ (price feed provider), calculates real time Option Greeks (Delta, Vega, Theta, Gamma, Rho) (using binomial model) for stocks and ETFs based on equity and option position. • Volatility application: Based on traders’ input, it creates volatility curve and display comparison with market volatility and sends this data to our trading application. Displays comparison between ETFs to find arbitrage. This allows traders to trade many more stocks and ETFs without doing any manual volatility modification and create appropriate volatility smile. • Bloomberg Application: Fetch dividend, company data, beta, market volatility, real time index and currency future prices, historical prices, historical volatility, and too many other data points to list, based on ticker symbols using Bloomberg JAVA API.
