Freeway is a fast and powerful server-based trading platform designed for quick development and deployment of custom automated trading strategies. These custom algorithms, defined as Jobs within Freeway, are written in standard Java or Scala code using industry standard tools and a straight-forward Application Programming Interface (API). Jobs can execute trades, dynamically reconfigure themselves based on changing market conditions, and perform market analysis, including historical comparisons and risk monitoring.

 

 

  Intuitive Interface

Adhering to the OptionsCity standard, Freeway comes with an easy-to-use interface to quickly monitor, deploy, and control custom Jobs while simultaneously executing hundreds of Jobs.

The Freeway interface allows traders to quickly edit variables within Jobs. It comprises integrated logging and database capabilities with the ability to search for and filter specific events and take action from the logs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Integrated Data Visualization 

 

Freeway includes extensive data visualization capabilities for both internal Freeway operating parameters and custom data probes.

Freeway facilitates the interaction between the human decision-making process and the high-speed automated algorithms within the Freeway server by allowing bidirectional signaling between executing Jobs and the dashboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Simulation Playback Tools

Traders can select which Jobs they would like to run on the recorded market data within the simulation environment.

The playback tool allows traders to record market data and replay it at different speeds to test algorithms.

 

 

  Comprehensive Development Environment

 

 

Freeway provides a complete development environment with a simple yet powerful API for algorithm development using Java or Scala, streamlining the design, development, test, and deploy cycle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  The Algo Store

 

The Algo Store is a one-of-a-kind online algorithm repository, providing a cutting-edge collaborative environment and a market for creating, purchasing, and downloading algorithms. It includes a rich set of algorithms available for Freeway users, including delta and gamma hedging, opportunity detection, quoting algorithms, and auto-spreaders. Third-party quantitative analysts have the opportunity to write and sell algorithms or components of algorithms to traders around

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Integration with Metro and Risk Management Tools

Freeway fully integrates with Metro's centralized server-based risk management by incorp orating the risk associated with Freeway trades. Metro lays out risk across a span of underlying prices as well as various "what if" scenarios.
