The partnership between Ideal and Broadway provides traders with turnkey access to industry-leading analytics and actionable insights. Together, Broadway and Ideal empower fixed income traders with the fully hosted SaaS trading and analytics solutions they need to optimize their workflows and performance.
FICC (Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities) traders can review client transaction cost analysis (TCA), compare client profitability, and assess risk in both human and electronic trading. Ideal Flow enables traders to visualize historical trends as well as drill down into trade activity millisecond by millisecond. Integrated market data provides context on market share movements.
“In building Ideal Flow, we drew upon our firsthand experience leading trading desks and quant groups for over two decades in-house,” said John Crouch, Ideal’s CEO, in a statement. “We translated our specialized knowledge of FICC dynamics and workflows into a user-friendly interface with intelligent curation built in. As a result, Ideal Flow is the only analytics solution that perfectly anticipates trading teams’ needs and illuminates the critical actions to help them trade more effectively.”
