Mexican Institutions Successfully Deploy RTS Front-end Technology

RTS Realtime Systems Group, a leading trading solutions provider, announced today that its front-end trading solutions were successfully launched and deployed at the Mexican Derivatives Exchange (MexDer).

RTS announced last summer that MexDer had selected RTS to provide its next generation front-end for its electronic trading platform, replacing the exchange’s proprietary trading terminals.

The official roll-out to MexDer’s Mexican members occurred in January. On February 25, RTS is hosting a reception for the Mexican trading community to celebrate the successful launch. The roll-out was preceded by customization and implementation of market specifics as well as intensive on- and off-site training courses for all participants.

“We are continuing our efforts to facilitate international access to our markets and our benchmark Latin American products. We are pleased to see that market participants confirmed our choice for the versatile RTS technology,” said Jorge Alegría, Chief Executive Officer of MexDer.

MexDer’s members have begun trading via RTS’ high-performance trading platform, the RTD Realtime Trading Desktop, and eRTD, the white-labeled and web-based front-end.

Said John Dempsey, Vice President, Business Development at RTS: ‘We are very encouraged by the initial response to our state-of-the-art trading software, designed and customized for Mexican traders.“

MexDer recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. The exchange lists premier products on interest rates, index stock options and foreign exchange.

Members of the Mexican trading community and media who would like to attend the February 25 6:00 p.m. RTS reception, celebrating the launch of the new MexDer front-end, must RSVP with name, affiliation and phone number to e.samuels@rtsgroup.net.  Details about the reception will be provided in the confirmation response.
