Trading Technologies

The SBPP is pleased to welcome Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT) to the program.

Trading Technologies develops sophisticated front end software for electronically trading the world's major derivatives/futures exchanges. The company was established in the early days of electronic trading and in addition to its headquarters in Chicago, has offices in New York, Houston, London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Sydney. A leader in its industry, Trading Technologies estimates that at least 50% of the combined electronic volume on the world's four leading derivatives exchanges moves through the X_TRADER platform.

In the fall of 2006, students in Purdue's computational finance program will begin to use TT's trading software, using real trading data as part of their curriculum, to get hands on experience in futures trading. This is good news for the students, whose skill set and knowledge will be considerably enhanced. This is great news for Trading Technologies and their customers in the banking, brokerage firm, hedge fund and proprietary trading group industries, who will have a larger pool of highly qualified potential candidates to hire from.
